Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will be discussing a conditional unilateral withdrawal from Gaza on April 14 with President Bush in
the Oval Office of the White House. What will Israel ask for in terms of compensation? Does Israel expect the U.S. to legitimize Israeli
annexation of the West Bank in return? How would the security situation in Gaza be affected by a withdrawal? Will U.S. taxpayers be expected to pay up to $5 billion for the transfer of Jewish Israeli
settlers out of Gaza?
Palestinian ambassador Hasan Abdul Rahman, just returned from consultations in Cairo, will discuss the details of the withdrawal and conditions that must be established to move the peace process forward.

Ambassador Edward Peck will discuss the endgame in Iraq and review possible exit strategies. Eugene Bird, President of CNI, will discuss the impact of the Gaza withdrawal on those strategies.

Grant Smith, Director of Research of IRMep, will discuss insights and recommendations extracted from an April Gaza withdrawal poll of 100 US academics specializing in the Middle East.

This hearing, sponsored by the Council for the National Interest (CNI) and the Institute for Research Middle Eastern Policy (IRMep), is the fourth in a series on the Middle East in Election 2004. CNI is a research, education, and outreach group which advocates that the 2004 Presidential platforms include a plank calling for the immediate recognition of Palestine as an independent state, the establishment of a new Middle East Peace Alliance in order to end conflict and ensure regional stability, and a revisiting the 'Road Map for Peace.'

IRmep is a non-ideological, non-partisan public policy "think tank" researching American interests in the Middle East.
