![]() According to Sharon's disengagement plan, about 8,000 settlers will be removed from all 21 settlements in the Gaza Strip and four West Bank enclaves by next year. "We must show sensitivity and understand the pain of the settlers who are good citizens of Israel," Sharon said. The ultra-nationalist Rempart movement started a campaign recently to persuade over 10,000 troops to refuse any commands to carry out the evacuation. In June, rabbis representing the settler movement ruled that Sharon's plan violates Jewish law and said that troops should not participate in evacuating settlers. |
