Israel-PA Security Talks May Resume


(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn - Israel wants to resume the activity of the joint committees with the PA, senior political sources said over the weekend. The committees were to deal with security procedures and Israeli gestures, the transfer of West Bank cities to the Palestinians, the release of Palestinian prisoners, "legitimizing" wanted operatives, and preventing incitement. Israel's agreement to resume negotiations with the PA is one of the results of Prime Minister Sharon's meeting last week with President Bush.
