“Israel may consider using unilateral disengagement as a government policyâ€Â, Arad said, “This includes annexing the West Bank territory and withdrawing to what the Jewish state would decide as its permanent bordersâ€Â.
Arad added that if the stand still in the peace talks with the Palestinians continue “there may be room to consider using unilateral disengagement as a policyâ€Â.
The unilateral strategy according to Arad includes determining the permanent borders of Israel.

“The importance of this step is not withdrawal to, and what areas we will hold onâ€Â, he said, “The importance is the annexation of areas we will not evacuateâ€Â.
The Israeli Radio, which broadcasted the remarks of Arad, quoted statement made by Sharon declaring that “Israel has no further unilateral withdrawal planâ€Â.
