Quds, Jan 30, SPA-- Israel is likely to pull back its troops from several West Bank cities within days, Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz said on Sunday. "I think there is an opportunity to create a new reality," Mofaz told Israel Radio after talks late on Saturday with Palestinian official Mohammed Dahlan, a former Gaza security chief, on confidence-building steps. "It is very possible responsibility will be transferred (to Palestinian security forces) in some of the cities in the next few days," Mofaz said. "We are supposed to meet again to finalise the issues." Palestinian sources said Israel agreed to a handover this week of five West Bank cities.
