Israel eases controls as Palestinians wait on militants.
(From Agence France Presse)
The Israeli army night eased its control over Palestinian territories as Palestinian prime minister Mahmud Abbas's cabinet said it expected an answer within days from militant groups to a proposed truce in anti-Israeli attacks.
"The complete closure has been lifted from midnight," (2100 GMT), an Israeli military spokesman said.
Israel announced Friday it had agreed to a phased handover of security control in Gaza and West Bank towns to the Palestinians, following talks between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his Palestinian counterpart Abbas Thursday ahead of a summit with US President George W. Bush.
Bush said during a trip to Poland Saturday would do all he could to reach a Middle East agreement "and see it enforced."
Meanwhile an activist of the hardline Palestinian group Hamas was killed by the Israeli army Saturday during raids in the West Bank.
The statements from the Palestinian cabinet and Bush came despite a vow by the hardline Islamic group Hamas to continue attacks as long as Israel failed to make substantial concessions.
