A map published by the Council of Jewish Communities of Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip that shows the concessions Prime Minister Ehud Barak was willing to make at Camp David clearly indicates the stretch of Road No. 443 that would become the actual border between Israel and the Palestinian state.

A spokesman for Transport Minister Amnon Lipkin-Shahak said he would not comment on any queries regarding future borders.

But today, while there are a few banners supporting Likud leader Ariel Sharon hanging from balconies, there is not a single Barak banner. Even those who say they plan to vote for the Labor leader sound almost embarrassed about it.
