Israel, PA Negotiating Immunity Deal for Palestinian Militants
(Ha'aretz) - Arnon Regular Israeli and Palestinian security authorities are negotiating a deal under which armed men wanted by Israel would be granted immunity in exchange for commitments by the PA that the wanted suspects would not be involved in new terrorist acts or attacks on IDF troops. Palestinian sources said the talks are part of an effort to end activity by rogue Fatah cells, and in some cases to draft them into the Palestinian security services. Dozens of armed men have turned themselves in to the PA and moved to Jericho as a way of ending the IDF's pursuit. Some are being held in Jericho's Palestinian prison and others are living there with the agreement that they will not leave the city.
