The White House on Thursday praised Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip as a bold move that will strengthen ties between Israel and the United States.

Bush sympathizes with Israeli settlers who are being forced to evacuate their homes, said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. But she said Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was "very courageous" to carry out the withdrawal.

"We agree that the disengagement will make Israel stronger," Perino told reporters. "We agree with Prime Minister Sharon on that and the president has also said that this will bring our two countries closer together."

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, in an interview with The New York Times, called the withdrawal a "dramatic moment" and said that soon after it is complete, Israel must take further steps, including loosening travel restrictions in the West Bank and withdrawing from more Palestinian cities.
