Sharon, U.S. Reach Deal on Building in Territories
(Ha'aretz) - Aluf Benn, Nadav Shragai, and Moshe Reinfeld Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has reached a new agreement with the American administration, under which no construction will be permitted in existing settlements "except within the area circumscribed by existing construction." Israel also promised not to build any new settlements and not to expropriate any Palestinian land for construction purposes. In exchange, Washington agreed to remove the settlements from the framework of its road map and to conduct separate talks on this issue.
