SHARON:  ISRAEL DOES NOT WANT INTO AREAS RETURNING CONTROLLED BY
PALESTINIANS








TEL AVIV, 11 March (of RIA Nowosti rIA-Nowosti-Korrespondent Andrej
Prawow).  Israel intends to return to the areas which are under
Palestinian check, it wants in addition, not from these to lock itself
off on one side.  The avowed new Israeli Prime Minister Ariel the
Sharon.

After its words the idea is to distinguish itself from the territories
of the Palestinian autonomy on one side " simply unrealistically ",
because the boundary is long over 700 kilometers and can be protected
extremely with difficulty.  To manufacture a " electronic fence "
between the Palestinian areas and Israel the former prime minister
Ehud Barak had submitted the suggestion.

A memorandum is possible only on the basis of bilateral agreements,
determined Ariel Sharon.  It stressed also the intention of leading a
compromiseless fight against the Palestinian terrorist organizations.


Meanwhile the situation remains in the areas of the Palestinian
autonomy further strained.  At the passed night in the West Jordan
territory and in the Gaza Strip new shootings between Palestinians and
Israeli soldiers were registered.
