The significance of the disengagement plan is the freezing of the peace process. - Dov Weissglass

Effectively, this whole package called the Palestinian state, with all that it entails, has been removed indefinitely from our agenda. And all this with authority and permission. All with a presidential blessing and the ratification of both houses of Congress.

The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger.

The disengagement is actually formaldehyde. It supplies the amount of formaldehyde that is necessary so there will not be a political process with the Palestinians.
