Col. Richard Kemp: Implications of IDF Withdrawal From the West Bank

Will an IDF Withdrawal from the West Bank Mean a Safe Haven for Extremist Groups? - Col. Richard Kemp (Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) To stand any real chance of success, every insurgent or terrorist movement needs a safe haven to operate from.

Any similar move to totally cede control to the Palestinians of the West Bank or a part of Jerusalem would carry immense risk.
