Sounds like what Sharon has in mind is a high tech security buffer zone separating most of the West Bank from Israel proper. Not a bad idea.

Sharon to present Bush the ‘most serious’ peace plan yet
By HERB KEINON
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is to leave tomorrow night for a three-day visit to Washington, where he will present what he said is perhaps the “most serious” plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace yet proposed.
“I’ll be presenting a plan, a serious plan, maybe the most serious that has been presented by now, how to reach peace in the Middle East, how to reach peace between us and the Palestinians,” Sharon said in an interview with ABC’s Nightline TV program.
Although Sharon has not provided details of the plan, it is expected to center around the convening of an international conference, long-term interim agreements, and what he has referred to repeatedly in the past as “painful concessions.”
Sharon is also expected to detail for the US administration his plans to create a buffer zone along much of the West Bank. He acknowledged that the buffer zone – to include fences, ditches, and electronic surveillance devices – would be expensive, and he would seek financial help from the US to build it.
