Italy Balks at Accepting Palestinian Terrorists
(Washington Post) - The evacuation agreement to resolve the siege at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity where the IDF has trapped scores of Palestinian terrorists broke down at the last minute when Italy refused to accept the men. Two key members of the Italian ruling coalition contend that the terrorists should not be allowed to enter their country. Under the agreement, 13 wanted terrorists were to have been deported to Italy and another 26 were to be sent to the Gaza Strip.
