Deal agreed to end Church of Nativity siege: Reports
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators have reportedly agreed a deal to end the month-old siege at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.
Palestinian officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that of the more than 100 people still in the church, six to eight senior Palestinian militants will be deported to Italy, around 30 others will be escorted to the Gaza Strip and the rest will be freed.
