The Palestinian Authority is demanding that Israel extend its withdrawal from the Gaza Strip two kilometers northwards, National Security Council Chairman General (Res.) Giora Eiland said Monday.
...
Eiland also revealed Monday at a session of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee ...that there was a long list of questions connected to the day after the disengagement, which the government has still provided no answers for. Eiland went on saying that it is appropriate for decisions to be made immediately on certain matters, for example on economic issues related to customs taxes payments for merchandise passing through Gaza port.
Eiland stressed many other urgent questions, such as who will be responsible for giving permission for the thousands of Palestinians who will want to enter Gaza, what will be the future military situation in the Strip, what form of rule will develop there, who will be responsible for the continuation of the dialogue with the Palestinians on the single point of contact and coordination between the sides, and what will be the status of the territories to be evacuated in the Northern West Bank, etc.
