Israel Ready to Transfer Northern Gaza Security Control
(Ha'aretz) Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz reportedly informed U.S. envoy John Wolf Thursday that Israel was ready to transfer northern Gaza security control to the Palestinian Authority. Mofaz said that in recent days the Palestinians were evading the transfer of security control, despite Israel's readiness to immediately implement the transfer. Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Amos Gilad met with PA Security Affairs Minister Mohammed Dahlan in Jerusalem on Thursday night to discuss the transfer. Security sources said the main obstacle to the deal is Dahlan's reluctance to commit to halt terror attacks in northern Gaza before a ceasefire agreement is reached with Hamas and other terror organizations.
