| US Admits Training Palestinian Armed Forces While PA Negotiates With Hamas |
| 2009-05-19 |
| Jerusalem -- The American military now openly admits providing military training to Palestinian military forces. But not like Hezbollah's training Hamas? A U.S. military official, Lt. Gen. Keith Dayton, assigned by the United States to be a "security coordinator," has been appointed to train 1,500 Palestinian military personnel. They will be available for "immediate deployment" in the area between Jenin and Nablus, less than an hour from Israel's populated coastal plain. He discussed his mission at the Washington Institute for Near East Studies last week. |

| #3 That's one way to keep track of what's going on inside the West Bank -- I assume we aren't being quite so helpful in Gaza. Also a useful conduit of information for the Israelis, when we see something they ought to know. |
