Bush: "We accomplished what I hoped we'd accomplish"
Sharon's government already had accepted the peace plan in principle despite deep reservations, and Abbas already had pledged to crack down on violence.
Bush welcomed Sharon's public commitment that "we will immediately begin to remove unauthorized outposts," a painful step for the prime minister since he is an architect of Jewish settlement expansion in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The president, flying to Qatar later, told reporters, "He said he would dismantle them. We now expect him to dismantle them."
The issue of Israeli outposts and settlements is one of the most divisive points between Israel and the Palestinians. As for whether Sharon's promise went far enough, Secretary of State Colin Powell said, "It's a good start. It will show to the Palestinian people and to the world that Israel is prepared to do things that they were not prepared to do before this meeting."
Without their government's approval, Israeli settlers have placed trailers or tents on hilltops, some next to existing settlements, in Palestinian areas. The unauthorized outposts intensified the Palestinians' conflict with Israel during which more than 750 Israelis have died, including about 350 from suicide bombings. During the same period, more than 2,350 Palestinians have been killed.
