On Tuesday, Israeli Defense Minister, Shaul Mofaz stated that the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip corresponds with Israel's international interests, adding that the southern borders were previously agreed upon in accords with Egypt.
Mofaz said he opposes any unilateral withdrawal from the West Bank settlements, as these settlements are considered to be the future borders of Israel, and therefore vital to Israeli national security.
These statements by Israel's Defense Minister will minimize any possibility of a viable Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip outlined in the US backed Road Map Peace Plan. The Bush administration had previously agreed upon the annexation of settlements blocs in the West Bank to Israel in any final agreement.
