Amnesty Deal for Wanted Fatah Gunmen Is in Jeopardy
[Ynet News] Ali Waked - "The agreement according to which Israel will stop chasing dozens of wanted Fatah gunmen in the West Bank if they agree to disarm is on the brink of collapse," a senior Palestinian security source said Thursday. Israel and the PA had agreed on an amnesty for 178 wanted members of Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. However, half of the Fatah members on the list have not handed in their weapons to the Palestinian security forces. At the same time, a senior al-Aqsa member not included in the amnesty deal warned that if the list of pardoned gunmen is not expanded, his men would not maintain the calm.
