Likud MK Moshe Arens, who served as Israel\'s Defense Minister on three separate occasions since the 1980\'s, writes in today\'s Ha\'aretz that to give up on a military solution for the current Palestinian uprising \"is a prescription for disaster.\" Israel\'s approach must focus on two fronts, writes Arens: \"Certain strategic locations in the Area-A zone [under full Palestinian control] will have to be occupied by the IDF, and a maximum effort will have to be made to reduce the number of guns in the hands of the Palestinians and to prevent the introduction of even heavier weapons.\"
