Israel Cancels Bus Segregation for West Bank Palestinians 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
Israel has cancelled an order to bar West Bank Palestinians from riding
on the same buses as Israelis. The segregation would have applied to the

three-month pilot project to address the demands of Israeli settlers.
But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu abruptly cancelled it
following an outcry.
