Building the terrorists' confidence

A possible smuggling tunnel was just discovered under the city of Hebron. Explosives from that tunnel were removed by the PA police who then alerted Israeli officials. That makes it the perfect time to give the PA even more control over Hebron!

On Wednesday, IDF regional commanders and Civil Administration head Brig.-Gen. Yoav Mordechai will meet with their Palestinian counterparts to finalize details ahead of the planned deployment - possibly later this week - of 700 Palestinian policemen in Hebron.

Barak has presented the plan to US security coordinators for the region Generals Keith Dayton and James Jones, as well as to Quartet envoy Tony Blair, senior defense officials told The Jerusalem Post.

Following the deployment in Hebron, the Defense Ministry is also considering adopting the "Jenin model" in Nablus, Tulkarm and Kalkilya.

This would be called a confidence building measure as it gives the terrorist organizations masquerading as Palestinian government even more confidence that they can carry out their unholy work unmolested.

And let's not forget that Iran is reportedly exerting greater influence in Judea and Samaria.
