What was that again about a peaceful negotiated settlement? “Fugitives to join PA security forces,” from the Jerusalem Post, with thanks to Teri:
About 350 Palestinian gunmen will be incorporated into the Palestinian Authority security forces soon as part of a deal reached between PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and leaders of all the Palestinian factions, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
The militiamen, who are on Israel’s list of wanted terrorists, belong to various factions, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
This is the first time that members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad would serve in the PA security forces….
“The fugitives who will join the security forces belong to all the Palestinian groups and factions,” Naja said. “The move is designed to protect them against Israeli assassination attempts.”
