There are lots of questions about what the security situation of Israel will be the day after the last withdrawal,

a blunt political instrument to serve the PLO's diplomatic and military agenda against Israel.

Right now, Israelis want a security process rather than a peace process.

I think today's the day of tremendous national anguish. Many people thought this whole process would polarize Israeli society because that seemed to be the environment here leading up to the national disengagement effort.

Unless the green light is turned into a red light, unless there's a clear message (from) Mr. Arafat to stop terrorism, there can't be any peace process.

There are no quick solutions. This is not armored warfare in the Sinai, where you encircle divisions of the other side and end it in six days. But with determination and perseverance, Israel will win this struggle.
