A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
Careless Words

According to a Haaretz interview with Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Sharon has told Rivlin that he intends to dismantle 17 settlements as part an agreement with the Palestinians. It is not clear if the "agreement" would be a final-status agreement or an interim agreement, though Sharon has previously stated that any agreement in the near future will be an interim one.

While Rivlin may mean well, his disclosure is very disturbing. By foolishly revealing Sharon's positions to the world, including the PA, he is undermining Israel's negotiating leverage and increasing the likelihood that additional settlements to the 17 mentioned by Sharon would be dismantled upon an agreement.
