Residents of a Jewish settlement that became surrounded by Palestinian self- rule areas following last month’s troop redeployment in the West Bank said they would accept compensation to move. In a letter to a member of the Knesset, 39 of the 43 families living in the settlement of Ganim wrote that they would be open to such an arrangement. The letter was sent after a shooting attack Monday near Jenin, in which a resident of a nearby settlement was wounded.
