The Final Stage of Ariel Sharon’s Unilateral Withdrawal and Plan for Separation and Final Establishment of Permanent Borders is in Sight!

I have waited for more than five years for this to become a functional reality.
When it is in place, Israel will finally develop the “mindset” of “peace and safety,” which will set the state for an eventual Jihad attack against Israel at some point in time between 2008 and 2012.
I have been honest that timing has always been a guesstimate on my part, but have always put my confidence in the sequence of events, which I believe to be Scripturally correct.
I Thessaloonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in d
arkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Israel Will Draw Border, Move Israelis In
By Mark Lavie, Associated Press
Friday, March 10, 2006
JERUSALEM — In the absence of negotiations with the Palestinians, Israel plans to impose a border in the West Bank, build a wall and move all Jewish settlers to the Israeli side — all with backing from the international community, acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in interviews published Friday.
Olmert, the front-runner in March 28 elections, has laid out his most detailed vision about how he will proceed if he wins, in interviews this week.
His plan includes setting Israel’s borders by 2010, establishing a deadline for what would appear to be a large-scale unilateral withdrawal from much of the West Bank.
While the plan would involve uprooting some Jewish settlements, it also would retain portions of the West Bank and beef up major settlements in those areas.
Israel also would retain control over Jerusalem and link a large settlement to the city.
The plan falls well short of Palestinian claims to all of the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
Olmert’s comments drew stiff criticism from political opponents, who accused him of jeopardizing the country’s security, and Palestinian officials, who want a negotiated solution.
Olmert said he still hopes to reach a settlement, but the chances of a deal have dimmed with Hamas’ victory in Palestinian legislative elections.
Israel says it will only deal w
ith the militant group if it renounces violence and its calls for destruction of the Jewish state.
Hamas rejects such demands.
Olmert also threatened to assassinate the incoming Palestinian prime minister, Hamas legislator Ismail Haniyeh, if he is involved in terrorism. “Anyone who is involved in planning terror attacks will be a legitimate target for liquidation,” he told the Yediot Ahronot daily.
Olmert told Yediot that if the Palestinians “prefer to be dragged into the axis of evil of Iran,” then Israel will draw its own border in the West Bank based on its security needs.
“At the end of the process we will reach a complete separation from the vast majority of the Palestinian population,” he told the Maariv daily.
Olmert said the new border would not follow the route of the separation barrier Israel is building in the West Bank. He called the barrier, which has drawn international criticism, a “security barrier” meant to prevent attacks.
He told Yediot that he would try to work with Jewish settler leaders to try to get them to agree to the new line, moving settlers into settlements he plans to incorporate into Israel.
“We will definitely change the route either east or west in accordance to internal Israeli agreement,” Olmert told the paper. “The fence that will be built … will be the border line that
will separate Israel and the Palestinians. Israelis will not live beyond the fence,” he said.
In the absence of peace talks, Olmert’s unilateral approach is meant to solve Israel’s main security problems. It follows a unilateral pullout from the Gaza Strip last summer under Sharon.
Olmert seems ready, though, to go further than Sharon, who ruled out any further unilateral action after the Gaza pullout. Olmert, a close Sharon confidant, took over as acting prime minister after Sharon’s stroke on Jan. 4. Sharon, 78, remains in a coma.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat urged Israel to return to the bargaining table.
“Israel cannot determine my borders by dictating them to me. That only prolongs the conflict, rather than solving it,” he said.
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, who favours a resumption of peace talks, remains in office and has been trying to work out a power-sharing agreement with Hamas.
Olmert told Yediot he will consult with world leaders to win recognition for the border. “First of all I will talk to (U.S.) President (George W.) Bush,” he said.
In earlier interviews this week, Olmert said he would keep Gush Etzion and Maaleh Adumim, near Jerusalem, and Ariel, deep in the West Bank, as well as maintaining control over the Jordan River Valley, the line between Jordan and the West Bank.
However, it is unclear whether he could retain these areas, especially Ariel.
Bush has backed Israel’s claims to retaining some settlement blocs, but American officials have reacted coolly to Israeli claims on Ariel. Washington has also expressed displeasure over Israeli plans to link
Maaleh Adumim to Jerusalem, despite Olmert’s assertion in Yediot that the U.S. “has no doubt” that this will happen.
Officials at the U.S. Embassy did not return a message seeking comment.
Olmert hinted that he is prepared to redraw Jerusalem’s border, giving up a refugee camp on the city’s outskirts. But he said the city’s holy sites, including the Old City and Mount of Olives, would stay in Israeli hands.
Even with the settlement blocs under Israeli control, the plan would mean a pullout from most of the West Bank and removal of dozens of settlements.
