It's slow, but its still progress.
Israel and Palestine have reached an agreement for exchange of control of five more towns. First among them is the city of Jericho. While some stumbling blocks have been presented problems, and negotiations for other point of conflict have yet to reach fruition, this has to be taken as a positive sign by all sides. Israel will maintain control of the highways but will be pulling out of most of the city, the fate of certain Palestinians captured by Israel is still up in the air, but the other towns are expected to follow Jericho soon.
