Anyone who believes that Israel can maintain its current hold on all the West Bank is “living in a dream,” Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Friday, reiterating that Israel “needs to withdraw.”

Speaking at a forum of Jezreel Valley farmers, Olmert said, however, that Israel would not make any unilateral withdrawals, and that any steps would need to be negotiated with the Palestinian Authority government.

“Everyone understands that the state of Israel can’t exist without a guarantee of a Jewish majority,” Olmert said. According to the prime minister, in order to ensure a Jewish majority, Israel would have to make “tough decisions.”

Olmert did not address Haim Ramon’s proposal to withdraw from approximately 70 percent of the West Bank and evacuate a small number of settlements.

Turning to Hamas’s takeover of the Gaza Strip last month, Olmert said that, despite recent predictions by senior defense officials, a situation similar to that in Lebanon would not develop in Gaza.

Olmert said that while he didn’t intend to turn a blind eye to the volatile reality in Gaza, Israel needed to respond to the nascent reality with “brains, not hysteria.” Olmert said he did not believe that a large-scale IDF invasion would be an appropriate response.
