Militant attacks slow before Palestinian election amid peace hopes
Hamas leader in the West Bank signaled a halt to attacks during the Palestinian presidential campaign and suggested a possible truce with Israel. Hours later, two Hamas militants were killed trying to attack an Israeli outpost, while another Hamas official denied any truce. Israeli PM Sharon faced a budget standoff with a coalition partner that could topple his government and delay Gaza withdrawal. The violence decline follows Arafat’s death and moves toward cease-fire talks as Abbas courts militant groups. Al Aqsa Brigades floated a potential truce as Hamas leaders weighed changes after Arafat’s death.
