Israelis Move On Jewish Squatters On Seized Land
Israeli army surrounded about 150 Jewish settlers and 2,000 supporters who erected a temporary outpost in the West Bank near Sebastia and Nablus after bypassing barricades. Defense Minister Shimon Peres agreed to meet two leaders of a right wing party backing the settlers amid stalled peace talks with Jordan. The government bans settlements in the Sebastia area and northern Samaria due to Arab-majority populations and possible future Jordanian return under a peace deal.
