Palestine-Israel, Politics, 9/26/2001

Four Palestinians were wounded on Tuesday when the Israeli forces opened their fire at their cars near Hebron ( al-Khalil).

Meantime, an explosive went off near an Israeli military car when it was running by the cross-road of Kadim Ghaneim settlement near Jenin. The Israeli forces also found explosives near the two Israeli settlements of Aloun Moreh and Eitamar in the West Bank.

Israeli military sources said the Israeli forces will tighten its military siege on the cities and villages of the West Bank and Gaza under the pretext of the fall of the Israeli " al-Ghufran" ( atonement) day.

On the other hand, members of the Israeli police on Tuesday morning attacked a hotel in Jerusalem where the French Foreign minister Hubert Vedrin was meeting in one of its halls with Palestinian figures and confiscated the license of a French man working in the French Consulate, accompanying Vedrine.

AFP explained that the Israeli police entered the hotel in which Vedrine was meeting with Palestinian figures including Hanan Ashrawi, and Hatem Abdul Qader, two members of the Palestinian legislative council, but failed to confiscate the license card of the French assistant Consul.

Vedrin condemned Israel's re-occupation of Beit al-Sharq ( Orient House), the main headquarters for the PLO in Jerusalem and called for returning it back immediately, while Ashrawi said that discussions dealt with the situation in Jerusalem and the Israeli " terrorist practices" against the Palestinian people.
