Eitan: Don't Even Consider West Bank Withdrawal Yet
[Jerusalem Post] As long as Israel does not possess defense systems against high-trajectory weapons, it should not even consider withdrawing from territories in the West Bank, security cabinet member and Pensioners party chairman Rafi Eitan said Wednesday. Eitan said hills and areas opposite the Judean desert were vital for Israel's security. "We should not even speak about the possibility of giving them up," he told Israel Radio. "As long as there are threats from the east, including Ahmadinejad in Iran, al-Qaeda and Shi'ite groups in Lebanon and Syria, Israel must not relinquish territories that are vital for its security."
