We welcome the completion of the Israeli
disengagement from Gaza. This is an historic moment for
both sides, and the commitment of both sides to a
successful disengagement process has been impressive.
Israeli Prime Minister Sharon's courageous decision both
will enhance Israel's security and allow the Palestinians
to make progress toward building the necessary institutions
for a future state.
We congratulate the Israelis and Palestinians on their effective coordination in recent months and particularly during the actual implementation of disengagement over the last four weeks. We hope to see this cooperation continue as we move forward, working with Israelis, Palestinians, our Quartet partners, and the broader international community to revitalize the Palestinian economy, assist the Palestinian security forces to restore law and order and to fight terrorism and strive to advance the President's vision of two states living side by side in peace and security.
