Channel 14 TV says tonight that the Palestinian Authority offered Nablus militants to sell their weapons in exchange for "amnesty", Abu Mazen ordered the pacification of the area
In Jenin, the PA lost control, while its representatives offered the armed men in Nablus to lay down their weapons and sell them to them in exchange for amnesty. The militants flatly refused.
Palestinian security officials demand the end of the military operation in Samaria and say "the election statements in Israel push for escalation".
"The Palestinian Authority is waking up very late," a Palestinian source told Channel 14. "Even though Abu Mazen ordered calm, his people are extremely pessimistic" and meanwhile the Palestinian effort for international intervention to protect the residents of the Palestinian Authority continues.
