Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is considering plans to hand over more territory to the Palestinian Authority, according to the ultra-leftist Haaretz.
The newspaper says that as part of the concessions Netanyahu is considering, "there will be a redeployment of IDF forces and more security control will be given to the Palestinian Authority. Parts of Areas B, in which Israel has security authority and the Palestinians only have civil authorities, will be handed over to full control of the [Palestinian] Authority."
In addition, "parts of Areas C, in which Israel has full control, will turn into Areas B."
The idea has already been floated by the Prime Minister's adviser, Yitzchak Molcho, in a meeting with the Quartet representatives in Jerusalem last week.
Netanyahu also plans to initiate an international conference with the participation of Israel and the PA.
According to Haaretz, all these concessions are being considered in order to stave off the planned United Nations vote on the establishment of an independent PA state, in September.
