Israel, U.S. Differ Over Security Fence Route Around Jerusalem
(Ha'aretz) Ze'ev Schiff - The first stage, that closed the West Bank between Salam and Elkana, east of Petah Tikva, is already bearing fruit. Thefts are down 40% in the area and in two separate infiltrations by Nablus suicide bombers, the bombers made their way south of the fence to get into Israel. Defense Ministry Director General Amos Yaron recently presented a map of the proposed fence to U.S. Ambassador Dan Kurtzer and road map monitor John Wolf. This time the clash is over the fence's northeast route from Jerusalem toward Ramallah.
