Security arrangements are not complete for two Jewish settlements that will be surrounded by Palestinian self-rule areas after the first redeployment called for under the Wye accord takes place, Israel Radio reported. Israeli and Palestinian security forces discussed the pullback during a meeting near the West Bank town of Jenin, where most of the first phase of the redeployment will take place. Thousands of Palestinians paraded in Jenin to celebrate what will be Israel’s first handover of West Bank lands in nearly two years.
