Palestinian fight heats up in West Bank
As we go to press, battles between Israeli troops and
Palestinian youth in the West Bank cities of Bethlehem and
Hebron have been taking place daily for a week, sparked by
Tel Aviv's refusal to halt plans to expand Jewish
settlements in East Jerusalem, and the arrogant
announcement that Israeli troops would only be withdrawn
from 9 percent of the West Bank. Washington, which has
backed the Israeli regime, announced it would send an envoy
for "peace talks."
