According to Israeli news media, a government commission preparing Israel's withdrawal plan from the Gaza Strip has proposed paying $300,000 in compensation to each Jewish family that voluntarily leaves their home in the Jewish settlements of the Gaza Strip. This amount is sufficient to purchase a house or apartment in most areas of Israel. The implementation of such a plan to encourage residents of the Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip to relocate may begin in two months. The total cost of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza is estimated to exceed one billion dollars. The government commission preparing and implementing the withdrawal plan will give Jewish settlers until September 1, 2005, to voluntarily relocate, after which the remaining individuals will be forcibly evacuated from the settlements. Under Ariel Sharon's government plan, Israel's withdrawal from Gaza will be fully completed, but only some of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank will be dismantled.
