Israel's National Security Council had recommended to Prime Minister Sharon that the disengagement from the Gaza Strip be expedited, in order to complete it as quickly as possible. The defence establishment feared that the reaction of the settlers, or certain groups among them, could be extreme, and that the longer the process was drawn out the higher the risk things could get out of hand. Justice Minister Yosef Lapid said it was important to accelerate the implementation of the disengagement plan, adding that "anarchy" had started in the process of compensating Gaza settlers. Sources from Prime Minister Sharon's office said the timetable had not yet been approved by Mr. Sharon and therefore "it was not a binding document at this point." PA Cabinet Minister Fares Qaddura said the Israeli unilateral pullout from the Gaza Strip would cause Palestinians great suffering. (Ha'aretz, Ma'ariv)
