Israel to Transfer Security in Northern West Bank to Palestinians
[Ha'aretz] Barak Ravid and Avi Issacharoff - Israel and the Palestinians have been discussing an almost complete transfer of security responsibility to PA security forces for an area north and east of Tulkarm, including Jenin, in the northern West Bank, an area equal in size to the Gaza Strip. The plan calls for full Palestinian control from 6 a.m. to midnight and joint control with Israel during the night. In talks with the Palestinians, Quartet representative Tony Blair and the American generals made clear that the PA would have to operate not only against Hamas, but against all terrorists, including the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades of Fatah.
