Libya aims to reopen relations with Western nations by dismantling WMD programs and allowing U.N. and U.S. inspectors to monitor its nuclear efforts. The move could restore access to lucrative oil contracts blocked by U.S. sanctions, with Libyan leaders and experts predicting improved ties, higher oil production potential, and eased international scrutiny.

Israeli leader warns of bitter clash over settlement plan
Vice Premier Ehud Olmert warned of a painful, emotional confrontation if Israel proceeds with dismantling settlements and redrawing boundaries. He said leaving most of the West Bank and Gaza is needed for security, while Palestinians oppose the plan and some Likud members threaten to quit the government. Israeli raids in Nablus killed a child and arrested a Hamas leader as efforts continued to arrange a Sharon Qureia meeting to revive talks on the road map.
