Rabbi killed; Ashrawi calls for removal of settlements
A rabbi was shot dead and an Israeli policeman wounded when they
were attacked by Islamic militants as they drove to a Jewish
settlement on Sunday (27/11). The shooting near the West Bank city
of Hebron came a day before Foreign Minister Shimon Peres was to
meet PLO leader Yasser Arafat in Brussels to discuss problems
facing the expansion of Palestinian autonomy. Jewish settlers
blamed government peace policies for encouraging militants to
attack, but Israeli Cabinet members promised to continue talks
with the PLO. At their regular Sunday meeting, they also
considered the recent upsurge of fighting between rival
Palestinian factions in Gaza. Reacting to Sunday's shooting in the
West Bank, Hamas spokesman Saud Alashawa said that Palestinians
were peaceful people who want freedom and statehood, passports and
identification cards. Referring to the killing of settlers by
Islamic militants he added that Palestinians were also freedom
fighters struggling against Israeli occupation. He went on to call
for the dismantling of Jewish settlements which he described as
timebombs. Meanwhile, Palestinian minister for human rights,
Hannan Ashrawi condemned the killing of innocent people but called
upon Israel to dismantle all settlements located in the heart of
Arab territories.

rights, Hanan Ashrawi SOT: "I think if we really want a serious
solution to this violence we should have a serious and equitable
