U.S. Presses Israel on Outposts and Prisoners

(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn, Arnon Regular, and Amos Harel - U.S. envoy John Wolf, assigned by President Bush to monitor the progress of the road map, has told Israel that by their count, a total of one outpost has been removed because of all the new outposts raised after each old one is evacuated. After Wolf said, "there are a lot of people demonstrating [against Abu Mazen] with pictures of prisoners," Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom responded, "we also have a lot of women, fathers and mothers with pictures, but their loved ones will never come back and they have no hope." Shalom said the PA has to "dismantle the terrorist infrastructure for there to be any progress."
