SECURITY REALITY AFTER THE EVACUATION

    A. The Gaza Strip

    1. Israel will supervise and guard the external envelope on land, will maintain exclusive control in the air space of Gaza, and will continue to conduct military activities in the sea space of the Gaza Strip.

    2. The Gaza Strip will be demilitarized and devoid of armaments,the presence of which is not in accordance with the existing agreements between the sides.

    3. Israel reserves for itself the basic right of self-defense, including taking preventative steps as well as responding by using force against threats that will emerge from the Gaza Strip.

    B. Judea and Samaria

    1. Upon evacuation of the settlements from northern Samaria (Ganim, Kadim, Homesh and Sa-Nur), no permanent military presence will remain in their environs.

    2. Israel reserves for itself the basic right of self-defense, including taking of preventative steps as well as responding with force against threats that emerge from this area.

    3. In the rest of the Judea and Samaria territories, existing security activity will continue. However, in accordance with the circumstances, Israel will consider reducing its activity in Palestinian cities.

    4. Israel will work toward reducing the number of checkpoints in Judea and Samaria as a whole.

    MILITARY INSTALLATIONS, INFRASTRUCTURES IN THE GAZA STRIP AND THE NORTHERN SAMARIA AREA

    In general, they will be dismantled and evacuated, except for those that Israel will decide to leave in place and transfer to a body that will be determined.

    THE NATURE OF MILITARY AID TO THE PALESTINIANS

    Israel agrees that, in coordination with it, advice, aid and instruction will be given to Palestinian security forces for the purpose of fighting terror and maintaining public order by American, British, Egyptian, Jordanian or other experts, as will be agreed upon by Israel.

    Israel insists that there will be no foreign security presence in the Gaza Strip or Judea and Samaria that is not in coordination with Israel and with Israel's agreement.

    THE BORDER AREA BETWEEN THE GAZA STRIP AND EGYPT

    During the first stage, Israel will continue to maintain a military presence along the border line between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. This presence is an essential security need, and in certain places, it is possible that there will be a need for the physical enlargement of the area in which the military activity will be carried out.

    Later on, the possibility of evacuating this area will be considered. The evacuation of this area will be contingent on, among other things, the security reality and the extent of Egypt's cooperation in the creation of a more reliable arrangement.

    If and when conditions emerge for the evacuation of this area, Israel will be prepared to examine the possibility of establishing a sea port and an airport in the Gaza Strip, subject to arrangements that will be determined with Israel.
