| Islamic Jihad rejects NATO deployment in West Bank |
| 2008-02-22 |
| (Xinhua) -- The Islamic Jihad movement on Thursday rejected any NATO deployment in the West Bank as part of a planning Israeli withdrawal from the territory. The radical Islamic group voiced the rejection in a statement in response to Israeli media reports that the U.S. was considering deploying NATO forces in the West Bank after pushing Israel to end the occupation of the territory. "The Palestinian people don't need a new occupation under the U.S. command," said the Jihad statement. "Palestinians are determined to gain their legal rights including the right of return to homeland," it added. |
