The Palestinians will never be able to build up
(and make work) their security forces as long
as Israel is launching incursions into the West
Bank, as if she still would be "at home" there.

On the other hand, as long as there is a credible "peace-process" ongoing, the Israelis
have the right to live without fear of any
attacks from the West Bank.

Therefore, as long as the PA is not yet able
to stop all the violence, Israel should be al-
lowed to make a few limited and pointed sweeps,
if she has credible intelligence that immediate
danger for her citizens is on the horizon.

However, such incursions must only be launched
AFTER consultation with the PA.

The IDF soldiers must get used to the idea that
in a few months they will no longer "be the
boss" in Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem and Ramallah.
