Observers and Bush's declaration

The Monte Carlo radio correspondent in occupied Jerusalem quoted observers in the Palestinian territories as saying that avoiding linking the call made by the US President George Bush for the Israeli withdrawal from all cities of the West Bank to the word " immediate" and delaying the arrival of the US secretary of state Colin Powell to the Middle East until next week offers Israel a period of time of 4 to five days to continue its "open aggression against the Palestinian people.

The observers stressed that the escalation of the Israeli military operations against the Palestinians will inflict heavy human casualties in the Israeli army.

On the other hand, Israeli military sources said that the Israeli army was disappointed by the American demand on demanding Israel to pullout from the West Bank, seeing that shortening the period of the Israeli military campaign in the Palestinian areas will blow off all its achievements.
