Outposts Get Reprieve After Settlers Buy Disputed Land
(Ha'aretz) Nadav Shragai - Several Jewish settlement outposts earmarked for evacuation will not be dismantled after all because the settlers bought the land from the Palestinian owners. The Jewish councils in the West Bank managed to raise funds to purchase the land on which many of the outposts were located, as well as land near other outposts. In some cases, the sellers were flown overseas at the settlers' expense, some of them to South America, allegedly for fear of being harmed by Palestinian Authority agents.
