Another group of Fatah members wanted by Israel’s security services has been granted amnesty under terms of a 2007 agreement. The pact allows Fatah operatives on the wanted list to surrender their weapons to the ‘Abbas-loyal Palestinian security services; vow to forego any violent activity; and remain inside the Palestinian areas. The program was originally initiated as a gesture to boost the esteem of Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud ‘Abbas among his people. About 150 Fatah members have accepted the Israeli amnesty program since it began.
