Report: U.S. Won't Recognize Major Settlement Blocs
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - A planned meeting between Prime Minister Sharon and President Bush will be postponed until mid-April due to the American refusal to recognize the legitimacy of major West Bank settlement blocs, such as Gush Etzion and Ma'ale Adumim, following a unilateral Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, Army Radio reported. One senior diplomatic official said the U.S. is waiting to see whether the plan has a chance of passing the cabinet before endorsing it, while the cabinet ministers are waiting to see what commitments and guarantees the U.S. will deliver before deciding whether to support the plan.
