The Disengagement plan of Gaza must be a first step, not the end of a process

In the next days, Israel will put in place its unilateral plan of disengagement in Gaza. 8000 settlers will be evacuated. For us, our first priority was to ensure Israel will evacuate Gaza and coordinate the disengagement with the Palestinian Authority. We support the Israeli Left involved in the support of this plan. But the day just after the disengagement, the left has to push for a global agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. We cannot accept the strategy of Sharon, giving up Gaza to preserve the settlements in West Bank. The Young Meretz-Yahad already prepare public actions together with the Palestinians to push for global negotiations. It is very important.
MJS France continue to support the Geneva agreement as a model of global agreement and a basis for sustainable peace in the region. Two peoples, two states with Jerusalem as the capital of the two states. The end of occupation in West Bank and the respect of the frontiers of 1967.
We will continue our involvement in the regions together with our partners in the region : Fatah Youth, Labour Youth and Young Meretz-Yahad.
