The U.S. will not recognize a border created after a unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank as Israel's permanent frontier, senior U.S. administration members said. A number of sources said unofficially that they believed the administration would not recognize such a withdrawal as one "after which there would be no more need for negotiation," said one source. Sources in Washington said they believed the U.S. would want to maintain a united European-American front on the issue. "We need them for too many things; we won't get into a conflict with them over this issue," an administration source said. (Ha'aretz)
