Just two months ago (Maariv, December 30, 2005), he advised against withdrawing without receiving anything in return, “as if under fire,” and warned against additional unilateral steps. He correctly noted the differences between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and said that it would be “simply unreasonable to accustom the Palestinians and the United States to [a situation where] every time the diplomatic process gets stuck because the PA does not do its part, Israel retreats… We must not reward them for stymieing the initial stages of the road map. Under such circumstances, there is no justification for going to the Jewish settlers… and telling them that they have to evacuate their homes because we hope that there will be quiet some day. Anyone who carries out such a withdrawal will be abandoning Israel’s security with no collateral.”
