"Under the deal offered by Israel, 178 Al Aqsa gunmen would join the Palestinian security forces and be taken off Israel’s wanted list if they refrain from violence for the next three months. Each gunman was asked to sign a non-violence pledge and give his weapon to the security forces. Fifteen gunmen signed the pledge in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, said Ziad Mishar, 39, one of the pardoned fugitives. Afterward, they reported to various security compounds where they are to remain under supervision for the coming week. At the offices of the Preventive Security Service, Halawi, the long-haired fugitive, and four other Al Aqsa members were trying to adjust to a new life."
