According to the official PA website, Abu Mazen announced Sunday that two committees have been appointed to be in charge of solving the issue of those wanted by Israel for involvement in terror attacks through recruiting them to join PA institutions.
According to the statement, which is rife with spelling and grammatical errors, the committees of PA officials in Judea, Samaria and Gaza were given two weeks to resolve the issue. “The statement by presidnet [sic] office siad [sic] that the wenated [sic] people will be no more liable to amy [sic] attack or chase up [sic] by the israelis.”
According to the Road Map plan, accepted with reservations by Israel and the PA, the PA is obligated to “declare an unequivocal end to violence and terrorism and undertake visible efforts on the ground to arrest, disrupt, and restrain individuals and groups conducting and planning violent attacks on Israelis anywhere.”
Israel is currently holding talks with the PA over the release of an additional 400 Arab security prisoners, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee today. He also said Israel is talking with Jordan about releasing 21 Jordanian Arabs jailed in Israel as well – though four of them “with blood on their hands” will not be released, Sharon said.
It is unclear why Israel is going ahead with goodwill gestures despite Abass’ refusal to arrest wanted terrorists.
Knesset Member Gila Finkelstein (National Religious Party) said today that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is set to release Arab prisoners as a gesture for US President George Bush ahead of the two leaders' upcoming meeting. "Again it is happening that about a week ahead of the prime minister's meeting with President Bush, Sharon makes a gesture to the president and releases prisoners," MK Finkelstein said.
