West Bank attack casts shadow over Israel-Palestinian talks
By Samy Magdy and Tia Goldenberg, Associated Press
Transcribed from the clipping
“A Palestinian gunman opened fire at an Israeli vehicle in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, wounding two people, Israeli officials said. The attack cast a shadow over Egyptian-mediated efforts to lower tensions ahead of a sensitive holiday period beginning this week… More than 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire and more than 40 Israelis or foreigners killed in Palestinian attacks in Israel’s year-long spasm of violence… Israel pledged to stop discussion of new settlement construction for four months, and to stop plans to legalize unauthorized settlement outposts for six months… Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for Hawara to be ‘erased’ after last month’s settler rampage, apologizing after an international outcry.”
