Dov Weisglass is Sharon's advisor, and does most of his liasion with the White House.
Weisglass gave an interview to Haaretz recently, in which he said the Gaza disengagement is designed to strengthen the Israeli hold on the West Bank, to freeze the peace process, and to kill off any chance of a Palestinian state:
"The significance of the disengagement plan is the freezing of the peace process," Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's senior adviser Dov Weisglass has told Haaretz.
And when you freeze that process, you prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, and you prevent a discussion on the refugees, the borders and Jerusalem. Effectively, this whole package called the Palestinian state, with all that it entails, has been removed indefinitely from our agenda. And all this with authority and permission. All with a presidential blessing and the ratification of both houses of Congress."
Weisglass, who was one of the initiators of the disengagement plan, was speaking in an interview with Haaretz for the Friday Magazine.
"The disengagement is actually formaldehyde," he said. "It supplies the amount of formaldehyde that is necessary so there will not be a political process with the Palestinians."

The Pal's do not want peace. They want to kill Israeli's
The problem with that is if you look at the figures, Palestinian terrorism was dying out before the 6 day war and the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. It had gone from over 50 murders a year in the early and mid 50s to less than 10 by the mid 60s. It then shot right up after the occupation began, to over 70 a year, before falling again in the late 70s and 80s. It then really took off with the expansion of the settlements at the begining of the 90s.
If Israel had not occupied the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinian terrorism would have died out long ago.
