Military intelligence chief warns against surrendering Judea and Samaria

Military intelligence chief, General Amos Yadlin warned a Jewish Agency conference in Jerusalem on Tuesday that Israel cannot surrender Judea and Samaria, because the same thing will happen there that happened in Gaza.
Yadlin warned that a unilateral withdrawal from Palestinian Authority-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria would be tantamount to inviting Hamas to re-enact its takeover of Gaza.

“Hamas does not want peace with Israel,” he pointed out. “It is continuing its terrorist activities, and moderate Palestinians are unable to do anything about [the situation], even though they want peace.”

Yadlin added that he does not believe a political agreement with the PA is in Israel’s best interest. “If Israel withdraws from the West Bank,” he warned, “what happened in Gaza will happen there.”
Watch for the Olmert-Barak-Livni government to decide that it knows better.
