Israel Agrees to Hand Over W.Bank Town |
2005-03-06 |
![]() Israel had agreed last month to hand over five cities in the West Bank which its troops had reoccupied during a more than four-year uprising that erupted after peace talks failed. Israel then delayed carrying out the pledge it made on the eve of a Feb. 8 summit in Egypt after a suicide bombing killed five Israelis in Tel Aviv nine days ago. But the sides resumed security talks over handing over the cities on Sunday. A military source said Israel's top West Bank commander had met with a top Palestinian commander on the issue and that more meetings would be held this week. |
