). ______________________________ Yediot Ahronot asserts that comments about evacuating Netzarim are a waste of time and nothing more than letting off steam and releasing frustrations. The editors argue that refusing to evacuate Netzarim is a continuation of the shortsighted policy-making, which has characterized the State of Israel since its creation, but calls on the government to take the unique opportunity available to it at the moment and make an intermediate agreement. The paper lists the advantages to all sides if such an agreement were to be reached and believes that this is definitely possible. We must just invest a lot of desire and courage in order to run towards it. When the agreement is formed, it will become clear that it is possible to give up Netzarim
and one day we will ask
what were we doing there? Hatzofeh praises Attorney General Eliyakim Rubinsteins decision to open an investigation into Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and calls on the public to support him in the face of pressure and slander.
