Subject: RE: BS: Mideast: View From the Eye of the Storm
This is what Ami Ayalon, former head of Israeli Shin Bet has to say about ending the occupation:

"I favor unconditional withdrawal from the Territories -- preferably in the context of an agreement, but not necessarily: what needs to be done, urgently, is to withdraw from the Territories. And a true withdrawal, which gives the Palestinians territorial continuity in a Transjordan linked to Gaza, open to Egypt and Jordan. If they proclaim their own state, Israel should be the first to recognize it and to propose state to state negotiations, without conditions, on the basis of the Clinton proposals, to resolve all pending problems."


Here's the whole interview with Ami Ayalon:
