(KUNA) -- The Israeli Army asserted Wednesday it decided to put off execution of what he termed "proposals to ease restrictions of movement for the Palestinians" in the West Bank for a week. The army said the removal of barriers was pushed back a week on account of bad weather, as quoted by Radio Israel. Israeli Army leaders in yesterday's session decided to remove the barriers along the West Bank by next week, according to the radio.
They decided, however, to keep the fences around Nablus City north of the West Bank due to the "terrorist organizations' activities" in this area in particular. According to army figures, Israel built more than 400 barriers that snaked through the different villages of the West Bank, 27 of which only will be removed. |
