| More Jewish settlers to be relocated from West Bank |
| 2006-03-06 |
| A key aide to acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says there are plans for further withdrawals of Jewish settlers from the West Bank. Speaking on Israeli radio, Avi Dichter says more withdrawals from the West Bank will go ahead if the acting Prime Minister's Kadima Party wins this month's national election. Mr Dichter says Jewish settlers will be relocated to major settlement blocs, adding that Israel will define its final borders within four years. An Israeli newspaper is reporting that at least 17 settlements in the West Bank will be dismantled in the first stage. Settler leaders have reacted angrily to Mr Dichter's comments, vowing to physically resist any effort to remove them from their homes. |
