Within the course of a single week, Israel evacuated all of the twenty-one colonies that had been established in the Gaza Strip ever since the 1967 war, as well as four isolated colonies located in the north. This operation, completed in August of 2005 and undertaken as a completely unilateral move, represents an Israeli initiative towards peace that has been received with great satisfaction by the majority of the world. Nonetheless, several obstacles remain in the way of the "Road Map." This article examines some of the current challenges facing Sharon, Washington, and the Palestinian population in the uncertain march towards peaceful resolution of territorial and cultural dispute. The impacts that each point in this progression imparts on the fragile political futures of those involved are also discussed.
