...their state on the other side of it, as the Saudi peace plan suggests? Few terrorists succeed in breaking through the security fence that surrounds the Gaza Strip. In fact the only reason why Israel still faces problems in that part of the country is because, against all military logic, it insists on maintaining a presence on both sides of the fence instead of withdrawing to one side of it." He insisted earlier this week (see below) that not a single settlement will be withdrawn on his watch...
