Elliot: Bush and Sharon had agreed on the natural growth

"Despite denials of the Obama administration, there have been agreements between Israel and the United States about the natural growth in the West Bank, "said Elliot Abrams, former U.S. national security adviser for business in the Middle East and North Africa from the Bush administration. In an article published Thursday in the New York newspaper "Wall Street Journal, Abrams has contradicted statements by the Obama administration, especially those of the Secretary of State. A few weeks ago, Hillary Clinton argued that the current administration had received no previous document testifying to a written or oral agreement between the two countries about the possibility of building in existing settlements in Judea and Samaria to meet the needs of natural growth.

The dispute between Jerusalem and Washington on construction in settlements in Judea and Samaria has not yet been resolved. Even Italy and France have called Netanyahu to freeze all settlement expansion, demands repeated Friday morning by the foreign ministers of the G8 meeting in Trieste, Italy.

Abrams, in his capacity as head of affairs in the Middle East, among others led the negotiations with Israel on the settlements. This is the second time it contradicts public statements by the Obama administration since the emergence of misunderstanding between Washington and Jerusalem.

"Regarding settlements, we had agreed on principles for the continuation of some growth. Ariel Sharon has clearly pointed out in his important speech policy in December 2003 that Israel would honor all its commitments on construction in Judea and Samaria, there is no construction beyond the existing lines, he there be no confiscation of land for construction, there is no benefit urging Israelis to settle in Judea Samaria and there is no construction of new settlements, "said Abrams .

"Sharon did not invent these four principles. They result from discussions with representatives of the U.S. administration to Aqaba in June 2003, "Abrams added, alluding to what Clinton's statement that" by examining the history of the Bush administration, we do not agree applicable to that matter or official or oral. "

"This statement is not correct. Not only are there these agreements, but also the Israeli prime minister has relied on them when it adopted a new policy painful, which caused the fall of his government: the expulsion of Israeli citizens and communities the Gaza Strip and four settlements in Judea and Samaria. "

He added:" Despite what was said by Mrs. Clinton, there was an agreement. Sharon wanted to get out of the cul de sac, withdraw from Gaza and remove settlements.
