BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | Israel 'has to withdraw further': "Israel will have to withdraw from further parts of the West Bank, acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said.
In his first policy speech as interim leader, he said the main challenge ahead was to shape Israel's borders for good to ensure a Jewish majority.
It could not continue to control parts with a Palestinian majority, but would keep its main settlements, he said.
Mr Olmert is also acting as chair of Kadima, a party formed by PM Ariel Sharon before he suffered a stroke.
The party intends to run in Israeli general elections on 28 March on a platform of withdrawal from occupied territory."
