JEURSALEM, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Israel's Labour Party lashed out Wednesday at a Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's aide who said the Gaza pullout plan was aimed at freezing the peace process.

   Sharon's senior advisor Dov Weisglass said in an interview to Ha'aretz newspaper that the disengagement plan meant a "freezing of the peace process".

   "When you freeze that process, you prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, and you prevent a discussion on the refugees,the borders and Jerusalem," said Weisglass, one of the initiators of the disengagement plan.

   Labor Party Chairman Shimon Peres said Sharon had never told himthat the disengagement plan was meant to freeze the peace process.

   "He who seeks half-peace will bring half-war," Peres said.

   The Knesset (parliament) member Yossi Beilin also said thatWeisglass' comments were uttered in a rare moment of truth. 

   The remarks "reveal the fact that it is Sharon who is not apartner for peace, and the peace camp must work for him to be overthrown," said Beilin.  Enditem
