Yes, and the political analysts reckon it's because otherwise he'll be in charge of a country where the israeli population is smaller than the palestinian population.
Split off an area full of palestinians and pull the israelis back and the problem's sorted.
Unfortunately, you have the extremists who don't want to leave, being backed up by generally young americans.
If they start shooting at the IDF when the settlements are being dismantaled you could have a civil war (please don't do it in the next couple of weeks while I'm over there!)
