East Jerusalem and the suburbs were always going to be major sticking points. They contain predominantly Arab populations, but annexation would provide a better defensive position for the rest of Jerusalem and even Tel Aviv, since without them, the land of Israel is very narrow running to the coast. The Likud always wanted to keep them, despite the incorporation of more Arabs into Israel. I am by no means certain which is more threatening: a major pocket of Palestinian Arabs left within Israeli borders, or ceding the territory. However, Sharon has made it clear that the matter is subject to negotiation, and it provides an incentive to the Palestinians to resume talks with sincerity. From that standpoint, I think he is doing the right thing, to leave the matter hanging.......
