- Jewish settlers have begun setting up a new neighbourhood
in the Gaza Strip, in memory of a pregnant woman who was killed with her
four daughters last week by Palestinian gunmen.
-
- An AFP correspondent says three bulldozers have been
levelling ground about 100 metres from the Katif settlement, in preparation
for the construction of the neighbourhood.
-
- Under the first phase of the peace plan known as the
road map, Israel is required to freeze all Jewish settlement activity in
the occupied territories including the expansion of existing settlements.

- Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is drawing
up a new version of a Gaza pullout plan, after his Likud party rejected
his proposal to withdraw from all settlements there.
