Embassy of Israel Briefing
The Disengagement Plan is an Israeli initiative that is
an important part of Israel's ongoing quest for peace.
Taking great care in preparation and planning, Israel
intends to simultaneously address and advance the
security needs of Israel's citizens as well as the
aspirations of the Palestinians. Indeed, Disengagement
is designed to promote both the economic and social
needs and interests of both peoples.
The Disengagement Plan also
entails quite a considerable economic cost to the State
of Israel, as well as a series of significant sacrifices
required of those Israelis that have made their homes
and their livelihoods in Gaza and northern Samaria.
