| 2005-01-31 |
| Associated Press Israel will transfer security control over several West Bank towns to the Palestinians in coming days, Israel's defense minister said yesterday, hours after he met with a Palestinian negotiators to work out the details of Israel's troop redeployment. A senior Palestinian security official said the first four towns — Ramallah, Tulkarem, Qalqiliya and Jericho — would be handed over on Wednesday. The planned handover is the latest sign of rapid changes on the ground. It is accompanied by a rebuilding of trust after more than four years of fighting and a flurry of diplomatic meetings. The announcement comes as Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas took the peace initiative to Moscow yesterday in the first direct engagement of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the conflict in four years. |

| #3 It would be nice if the Paleos were not so ungrateful, they think they have it coming, according to their spokespeople. They are completely unconcerned about the settlers having to forego land where their family members are buried. They have absolutely no regard or human dignity. |
