Peace talks in Jordan as West Bank violence escalates
Palestinians inspect a damaged house and scorched cars in the town of Hawara, near the West Bank city of Nablus, Monday, Feb. 27, 2023. Scores of Israeli settlers went on a violent rampage in the northern West Bank, setting cars and homes on fire after two settlers were killed by a Palestinian gunman. Palestinian officials say one man was killed and four others were badly wounded.
Palestinian and Israeli delegations began peace talks in Jordan on Feb. 26, just as a Palestinian gunman killed two Israelis and settlers burned cars and buildings in the West Bank. And, millions of Nigerians cast their votes for a new president over the weekend. Many voters applauded improvement in the election process, but others experienced violence at the polls. Now, comes the wait for the results. Also, Belarusian officials will visit Beijing on Tuesday, just days after US officials announced they had gathered intelligence suggesting China is considering supplying lethal aid to Russia for its war in Ukraine. Plus, a UK publisher says it will continue to publish Roald Dahl’s original books, despite their controversial terms.
