(IsraelNN.com) In an interview with Chinese news agency Xinhua, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert admitted that unilateral withdrawals in Lebanon and Gaza have been failures. He expressed willingness to negotiate a withdrawal from most of Judea and Samaria, but only within the framework of bilateral negotiations.

Over the summer, Olmert was still discussing his unilateral "convergence plan", even as the second Lebanon War raged on. That plan has been shelved.
