Israel Turns Tulkarim Over Palestinians

Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz announced that handing over Tulkarim’s control will be realized today; however, no reconciliation was reached during the talks yesterday between Israeli and Palestinians regarding the hand over of Saida, to the north of Tulkarim, and Ilar and Deir Al-Gussan and other villages.

During the talks, the parties agreed to keep these villages under Israeli control for a few more months.
