Report: Amnesty deal between Israel and Fatah falls through

By Haaretz Service

Pan-Arab satellite television network Al-Arabiya reported Thursday that the agreement between Fatah militants and Israel promising amnesty to militants who turn in their weapons has fallen through.

According to the report, Israel informed the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, affiliated with Fatah that the amnesty offer is no longer on the table as half of the Fatah militants who signed documents promising to refrain from terrorism failed hand over their weapons.

The offer to clear the Fatah men from the lists of wanted fugitives was part of a package of measures which Prime Minister Ehud Olmert formally presented to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in a meeting last month. The gestures also included the release of 256 Fatah prisoners.

Palestinian Authority sources told Israel Radio that some 60 percent of the Fatah militants listed have handed over their weapons.
