PA TO ISRAEL: WEAPONS IN EXCHANGE FOR GAZA PULLOUT COOPERATION

PA: Arms in Exchange for Pullout Cooperation; Adjust Gaza Border - Akiva Eldar
Senior PA officials have presented a plan to American and Israeli officials for coordinating the disengagement from Gaza and the northern West Bank. The Palestinians condition the plan on Israeli help in equipping their security forces with weapons and other equipment necessary for imposing law and order in Gaza. A position paper prepared for PA Chairman Abbas raises reservations about the location of the Israel-Gaza border at the Erez junction. Using Egyptian maps, the Palestinians claim that the border should be two kilometers north of where it currently runs. (Ha'aretz)

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. THE PA WILL ONLY ALLOW ISRAEL TO RETREAT IF ISRAEL GIVES IT WEAPONS?
