| Israel has proposed withdrawing troops from some Palestinian areas in the West Bank to test the ability of Palestinian security to prevent attacks on civilians, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said Sunday. "We have no interest in staying in those places where the Palestinians can prove that they can take control," Peres told Israel Radio. The proposal was made at Israeli-Palestinian talks Saturday night as part of an effort to find ways of easing the tough restrictions placed on Palestinians in the West Bank. If the Paleostinians were remotely interested in preventing such attacks, the IDF wouldn't be in the cities right now, would they? |
