Mofaz slams proposed evacuation-compensation bill for settlers
By Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: West Bank, Settlers 

Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz (Kadima) on Wednesday slammed a proposed evacuation-compensation bill for settlers in the West Bank, saying that it would "weaken Israel and its standing in future negotiations with the Palestinians."

Sources close to Mofaz added that holding talks on such an initiative at this point is "surprising".

The government will discuss a possible evacuation-compensation bill for settlers in the West Bank during its next cabinet meeting this coming Sunday.

The proposal, which was authored by Vice Premier Haim Ramon, would give Israeli residents of the territories the option of relocating to Israel proper in exchange for financial compensation.

The Prime Minister's Bureau announced that the government would not hold a vote on the matter, but rather that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is interested in hearing his ministers' opinions on the issue
