- Story Text: Arabs vented their anger on the streets of the occupied West Bank as the deadline for an Israeli-PLO accord on wider Palestinian self-rule seemed set to pass on Saturday (July 1).
In Ramallah, dozens of Palestinians threw stones, burned tyres and set up makeshift roadblocks. Israeli troops pursued the protesters, beat some of the youths and arrested fifteen.
In Nablus, hundreds of Palestinian youths confronted Israeli troops in the city centre with stones and rocks. The soldiers retaliated by shooting with rubber bullets and tear gas and by beating the demonstrators with clubs. Palestinian witnesses said more than twenty youths were arrested.
Israel has cited security concerns for the delay in expanding self-rule beyond Gaza and Jericho, in the West Bank.
The second stage of self-rule -- Palestinian elections and an Israeli troop redeployment in the occupied West Bank -- is already a year behind schedule.
