Israel has agreed to largely keep its forces out of four West Bank cities to try to boost a Palestinian security campaign supported by Washington, Israeli and Palestinian security sources told Ynet on Thursday.
The sources said Israel agreed to refrain from entering Bethlehem, Ramallah, Jericho and Qalqilya, except in cases where the army believes terrorists are poised to attack Israelis.
The agreement was reached following a meeting between Israeli officials from the Civil Adminsitration [sic] and top Palestinian security officials held in Bethlehem Wednesday evening.
According to the agreement, Palestinian forces will be allowed to operate in the aforementioned cities 24 hours a day; up until now they were authorized to operate from midnight to 5 am.
It was further decided that Israel would inform the Palestinian Authority of any security-related developments that may demand IDF intervention in territories controlled by the Authority.
The Palestinians hope that the increased cooperation will eventually result in the easing of restrictions on the Palestinian population....
Bethlehem should not be a muslim city. Judea and Sumarea belong to the Jews not the muslims. They need to expel every arab from all of Israel.
