Jerusalem - Israel's defence minister Shaul Mofaz said on Sunday that the government was ready to hand over control of several towns in the occupied West Bank to the Palestinian Authority within days.

"The transfer of control of some towns in the West Bank should take place in the next few days," Mofaz said the day after meeting with former Palestinian security minister Mohammad Dahlan on the issue.

The move is one of a number of peace gestures between Israel and the Palestinians amid a lull in violence.

The towns involved are said to be Ramallah, Qalqiliyah, Tulkarem, Jericho and one other town, possibly Bethlehem in the south.
