In the course of the conversation, the Defense Minister asked HaRav Eliashiv several questions about evacuating the batei knesset and the private homes in Gush Katif. He also asked several questions about risks to soldiers involved in the evacuation process. Maran shlita responded to the questions as asked.

By E. Rauchberger

Minister of Social, Diaspora and Jerusalem Affairs Natan Sharansky resigned from the government last week due to the disengagement plan, saying it goes against his conscience. Since Sharansky was not a Knesset member, the resignation was a particularly notable move for now he essentially remains outside of the political arena. Many say that his absence will be hardly noticed because he has long since faded from the political map.
