The analysis – conducted by the Hatikvah Educational Foundation – includes 10 sections:

• The Test of Disengagement;
   

• Examination of Precedents;
   

• Abu Mazen – A New Regime?
   

• Disengagement – Undermining or Promoting Peace?
   

• Disengagement – Tailwind or Headwind to Terrorism?
   

• Disengagement – Bolstering US-Israel Relations?
   

• Disengagement – Sparing Israel a Demographic Calamity?
   

• Disengagement – Economic Burden or Asset?
   

• Gaza – Land of Israel or Occupied Territory?
   

• What would Israel Get in Return for Disengagement?

Hatikvah’s campaign sheds light on the implications of the proposed Disengagement and the proposed Palestinian state on US and Israeli interests. As suggested by the website, Hatikvah Educational Foundation has examined the security, geography, topography, demography, historical and economic aspects of these two proposals.
