Haaretz Editorial: Aspiring to a lengthy cease-fire
Talkback
Title:Very good first step, but the next one must follow......
Name:Swiss (Dino)
City: State: Switzerland
....namely the start of a coordinated Israeli
withdrawal from most parts of the West Bank,
at the latest beginning early 2009.

Make no mistake, just to have calm on the
Gaza front, but continue with the status quo
on the West Bank will not work.

It is more than understandable, that this won`t
be an acceptable option for the Palestinians.

So again, if this really should be a significant
step towards a more peaceful Middle East, the
above mentioned second step is an absolute
MUST DO.

Otherwise this cease fire won`t be worth the
paper it has been written on.
