Gov’t Firm on Removing 24 Outposts
Excerpts;
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s government plans to stand firm on the commitment then prime minister Ariel Sharon made to the US that Israel would dismantle 24 outposts, a government source told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.
It has let the settlers know that there is no room for compromise on these 24 which it considers to have been illegally built, the source said. They include six outposts that are the subject of a Peace Now petition before the High Court of Justice and for which evacuation orders were first signed more than two years ago.
