Meanwhile, a West Bank settler arrested for gunning down four Palestinians on the first day of the evacuation told reporters: “I am not sorry for what I have done. I wanted to stop the pullout and I hope someone murders Sharon as well.” Meanwhile, the jailed leader of the Palestinian uprising, Marwan Barghouti, hailed the pullout as a “victory for the resistance” over the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip, home to 1.3 million Palestinians.
