  • Story Text: Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has met with
    New Jersey governor James McGreevey in Jerusalem.


    The meeting on Monday (August 19) comes just a day
    after an agreement was reached between the Israeli and the
    Palestinian authorities on the implementation of the Gaza
    first plan and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops from
    Bethlehem and Gaza Strip.

    Despite the agreement, the situation in the Palestinian
    territories have remained tense.

    In the West Bank city of Jenin the Israeli troops clashed
    with the Palestinian youth, throwing stones at them.

    Palestinian witnesses said a 13-year-old boy was shot dead by
    Israeli soldiers during clashes when tanks fired back at the
    crowd of Palestinian teenagers.

    High-ranking Palestinian authorities said that the
    withdrawal was expected to begin within 24 to 48 hours. So far
    there was no sigh of Israeli troops leaving the area or easing
    their clampdown on the territories.
