GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli occupation authorities refused to allow four members of the Palestine Liberation Organization central committee from Gaza from entering the West Bank on Thursday.

The four members were part of a delegation of 17 members of the PLO central committee traveling to take part in committee meetings starting next Saturday in Ramallah.

The members blocked from traveling by Israel were identified as: Walid al-Awad, member of the Palestinian People Party politburo, Saleh Zeidan, member of Democratic Front politburo, and two leaders of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Kayid al-Ghoul and Rabah Muhanna.

Al-Awad told Ma'an that the 17 members of the central committee were traveling through the Beit Hanoun in order to continue on into the West Bank when the four were blocked.
