Israel to Allow 20 Bethlehem Exiles to Return
(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - Twenty Palestinians who were among the 39 exiled to Europe and Gaza as part of a deal to end the standoff in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity in May 2002 will be permitted to return once the Palestinians receive security control of Bethlehem, Defense Minister Mofaz announced Thursday. Officials said the transfer of security control to the Palestinians in Jericho had yet to be resolved because of disputes regarding Ouja, north of the city, and the removal of checkpoints. This has delayed the handover of other Palestinian cities.
