Israel to Remain in Gaza Four to Six Weeks
(Ha'aretz) Defense Minister Mofaz cautioned Palestinians Tuesday not to "rush to celebrate" Israel's evacuation of Gaza. Mofaz told Army Radio, "There will be a space of time between the stage in which the residents leave, and the stage in which the IDF leaves the Gaza Strip, in the approximate range of 4 to 6 weeks. During that time we will not allow the Palestinians to enter into the territory. This was stated to them in all the levels of coordination." Mofaz said he sensed the Palestinians had not reconciled themselves to the fact that they would not be taking immediate control of the settlements to be evacuated.
