Date: 2008-10-06 (Monday)
Handing back control of the Israeli-occupied West Bank to the Palestinians as part of a peace deal would simply strengthen the hand of Israel's Iranian foe.
"Any area we withdraw from will be taken over by Iran and its proxies.
[...]
Both Lebanon and Gaza have become Iranian bases, and they would get a third one if we retreat from the West Bank."
-- According to Benjamin Netanyahu
