WEST BANK PALIS FEAR SAFE PASSAGE FROM GAZA
West Bank Palestinians Fear Safe Passage from Gaza - Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yair Naveh
There are those who believe that the solution lies in a "safe passage" that would connect Gaza and the West Bank. In the framework of my position as IDF Central Command chief, I have met several experts, including Palestinians residing in the West Bank, and it can be firmly ascertained that their main fear is the influx of Gazan youngsters into the West Bank. They do not wish to see Gazans on the streets of Ramallah more than we do, affecting the economy, taking jobs, attacking women and determining new norms of veils and religious fanaticism. The "safe passage" is the Gazans' dream but the nightmare of the West Bank. (Ynet News)
