Israel Assures U.S.: Nothing Decided on Unilateral Steps
(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn and Nathan Guttman Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom told National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice and Vice President Dick Cheney in talks Monday in Washington that Israel will not take any unilateral steps vis-a-vis the Palestinians without coordinating them in advance with the U.S. "This government is one whose coordination with the United States is full and complete," said Shalom. On the issue of the separation fence, Shalom told Rice, "The fence can be removed, but the loss of human lives cannot." He pointed out that in the past Israel moved fences on its borders with Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon.
