British plane ‘ready to help end Bethlehem Church siege’
A deal has been reached to end the 38-day standoff at Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity that would divide among several countries the 13 suspected militants Israel wants deported, an Israeli official said tonight.
Under the deal, reached by European negotiators, Italy and Spain would take some of the militants, while the remainder would be spread among at least four other countries, the Israeli official said.
