The Israeli government has agreed to extend the "ceasefire" in Gaza to Judea and Samaria, in compliance with demands by the Palestine Islamic Jihad and other terror groups.

This is according to Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who is scrambling to assert his influence as Hamas-PLO clashes intensify in the areas under his purported control.

Based on Abbas' assertion, it appears as if Prime Minister Ehud Olmert plans to help shore up the Fatah leader against the efforts to depose him.

According to a report in the London-based al-Hayat, Israel has agreed to pull IDF forces out of five cities in Judea-Samaria, allow the deported terrorists who took Bethlehem's Church of the nativity hostage to return home, remove security checkpoints in Judea and Samaria, and resume talks on setting more Arab terrorists free.
