ABSTRACT
The article reports that Ehud Olmert, who became Israel's prime minister when his Kadima party won the March 28, 2006 election, now faces the problem to force the Palestinians to give up their struggle for independence. Olmert's aim is to unilaterally define Israel's borders in a way that will achieve Israel's permanent separation from the Palestinians. Olmert's version of separation means permanently confining West Bank Palestinians behind walls and checkpoints, where they would have no control over their borders, their land or their water, and would be entirely dependent on Israel for their economic survival.
