National Religious Party MK Sha\'ul Yahalom told Arutz-7 today that the mortal wounding of the 5-month-old baby from Shilo last night could be attributed to the government\'s policies:

\"Sharon is at fault for giving in to Peres and for implementing a policy of restraint. Not only that, but he is agreeing to a ceasefire on the pre-1967 side of the Green Line, while allowing the attacks to continue within Judea and Samaria. He is dividing the country into 1st-class and 2nd-class citizens... In addition, the old \"separation\" plan is beginning to be revived - millions of shekels to be paid out for barriers along the Green Line in order to keep the terrorists away from one side of the line, where the \"first-class\" citizens live, while endangering the \"second-class\" citizens on the other side.\"



PA Preventive Security head Jibril Rajoub provided Palestinian radio today with his view of the ceasefire. Saying that Israel does not have the right to decide if the cease-fire is being implemented or not, and that international observers are required for this task, he noted that the PA could be held responsible only for attacks from area fully under its control. Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA explained, \"This is a return to the old Palestinian position that it is not their problem if Palestinians kill Israelis - as long as they do not do it directly from Area A. They maintained in the past that it was not their concern if a terrorist cell from Area A took their arms and bombs into Area C (full Israeli control) or Area B (joint control) and then perpetrated the attack after a certain unfixed period of time...\"
