Report: PA Rejects Israeli Incentive Package
(Ynet News) Elior Levy - The Palestinian Authority has recently rejected an Israeli "incentive package" meant to encourage the PA's return to the negotiating table. A senior Palestinian official told Ynet on Friday that the deal would have seen Israel free 30 Palestinian prisoners, some of whom were arrested prior to the Oslo Accords, as well as extend Palestinian security forces' authority in Area B of the West Bank, which is under Palestinian civil control and shared Israeli-Palestinian security control. The incentives were offered via a Quartet envoy, but the PLO's Executive Committee, which met Thursday in Ramallah, decided to reject the gesture.
