Occupied Jerusalem: Israel will make further withdrawals from the West Bank - but only from isolated settlements.
Interim Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will also determine a border with the Palestinians if his Kadima party wins in the Israeli elections on March 28.
Avi Dichter, a key candidate for parliament from Kadima told Israel Radio that Israel will move people from isolated areas to the main West Bank colonies.
Olmert himself has also said that Israel would not wait for an agreement to determine its borders.
He added that Israel "will take the initiative if we will find that the Palestinians are not ready, are not prepared, or not mature enough to be able to make the necessary adjustments within themselves in order to be ready for this challenge."
