Israeli parliament to debate threat over pullout opposition
In Jerusalem Israel's parliament plans a special debate on the threat from Jewish extremists opposing evacuation of settlements. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon acknowledged feeling at risk as fighting escalates with raids on Nablus refugee camp where a soldier and four Palestinians were killed. In Gaza a 15 year old Palestinian was killed in Khan Younis as tanks fired. Israel says two attackers were killed at an army post. Opposition MPs accuse the government of deceiving allies by expanding West Bank outposts rather than dismantling them. Peace Now counts 53 outposts to dismantle versus 28 listed by the government. US officials offer cautious comment amid rising tensions over settlement policy.
