(Ha'aretz) Gideon Alon - Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the Cabinet Sunday that he had agreed in talks with PA security advisor Mohammed Dahlan to suspend IDF action against 300 wanted Palestinians. He said he had agreed to Dahlan's request to release Marwan Barghouti's son Kassam, 19, who is charged with involvement in a series of shooting attacks. Mofaz noted, "In order to take advantage of the positive momentum of recent days, Palestinian anti-terrorism measures must expand and advance with determination, consistency, and efficiency. The Palestinian Authority must take more active measures against terrorist groups, and implement preventative anti-terror operations." Mofaz also warned, "It is clear to us that Hizballah will continue to try to carry out attacks inside Israel."
