debka reports that the Bush Administration, at first cool to Sharon's Herzoliya proposals (evacuation of Gaza settlements), is now sending envoys to sniff them out:

At first, the Bush administration looked askance at the Israeli leader’s unilateralism. But last week, it looked as though it might come round to some of its aspects. Secretary of state Colin Powell said the pullout from Gaza could help break the impasse blocking peace talks, but Sharon’s plan needed to be better understood. The State Department spokesman said the Israeli pullout from Gaza could reduce frictions and open the way to peace talks.

The Palestinians are aghast. They see a solution dictated instead of negotiated by the usual wheeling and dealing and the state envisioned by the US president George W. Bush shrinking in size.

I don't know why the Pals should be surprised. Three years of the Terror War and total non-cooperation with US initiatives, capped off by a show trial of four guys who did not kill the US agents last fall - and this in response to great US pressure, the one trial the CIA really cared about.

But then I don't know what makes the Pals do what they do most of the time.
