Sharon Meets Abbas in Jerusalem
(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn, Amos Harel, Nathan Guttman, and Arnon Regular - Prime Minister Ariel Sharon met with Mahmoud Abbas in Jerusalem on Tuesday. Sharon told Abbas that Israel would consider releasing Palestinian prisoners who are not connected to the murders of Israelis. The Shin Bet security service has begun drawing up a list of Palestinian prisoners whom Israel could free without endangering its security. Sharon also told Abbas that Arafat may leave Ramallah to go to the Gaza Strip - "as long as he stays there." Abbas warned Sharon that Iran is planning to revive terror attacks against Israel. The two men agreed on the establishment of four joint committees: to deal with Palestinian prisoners, trade, security, and an end to incitement.
