Village settlers agree to move from Gaza
Residents of a small Jewish settlement said today they have reached a deal to move together to a village inside Israel – the first community to agree to be evacuated under the government’s Gaza withdrawal plan.
The agreement, confirmed by a top official, gave an important boost to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who faces staunch opposition from settler leaders to his plan to pull out of the Gaza Strip and a part of the West Bank next year.
