Mofaz Meets Dahlan in Jerusalem

(Ha'aretz) - Amos Harel Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz and Palestinian Security Minister Mohammed Dahlan met Sunday in Jerusalem. After the meeting, Mofaz said he sees "a certain decline" in the number of alerts about Palestinian attacks and a similar decline in incitement in Palestinian media. According to Mofaz, both sides want to keep the process going. He promised that Israel would continue "confidence-building measures," but said it would be a gradual process, dependent on Palestinian fulfillment of their commitments. "I want to give the process a chance. I will make every effort to make the process progress, without endangering the security of the citizens of Israel," said Mofaz. He said Israel would not be handing over more Palestinian cities to the PA's security forces until there is more evidence of what he called Palestinian combat against the terrorist infrastructure. Most of the terror alerts refer to plans by local cells of armed Fatah operatives in the northern West Bank - in Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarm and Kalkilya. Israel Sunday allowed 1,500 workers and 1,500 merchants from the Bethlehem area into Israel for work and commerce.
