Palestinian Police Deploy In Gaza StripHundreds of Palestinian police deployed in the central and southern Gaza Strip on Friday, a day after the new Palestinian leadership banned civilians from carrying weapons and Israel's prime minister said conditions were ripe for a "historic" breakthrough toward peace. The deployment, meant to prevent attacks on Israelis, was the latest in a flurry of steps toward ending more than four years of fighting and resuming peace talks. Over the weekend, top Israeli and Palestinian are to set the terms for an Israeli troop pullback from West Bank towns, and an Israeli-Palestinian summit is expected soon.
