Key Events
Coverage of the Gaza "Disengagement" process (August 2005)
The Israeli pullout from the Gaza settlements will officially begin during the period of 15-17 August 2005. The evacuation will include the removal of Israeli settlers and their goods from 17 illegal settlements, as well as the redeployment of Israeli military forces from the Gaza Strip. The disengagement will also include the dismantling of four illegal settlements in the West Bank. It is announced that the redeployment should be completed by 22 September. The redeployment of military forces and their infrastructure in the Gaza Strip could take until at least mid-October, and potentially longer. This EI special section tracks the progress of disengagement.
