Barak's Plan
Defense Minister Barak, on the eve of his departure for Washington, is hoping that his easing of travel for Arabs in the PA-areas – removal of most checkpoints and the issuing of hundreds of free-pass BMC (businessman) cards – will encourage the Americans to be more lenient on the matter of settlements. "If we have significant progress in talks with the Palestinians, the issue of the settlements will become less central," Haaretz reported Barak as saying.
