Palestinians in Disguise Kill Four Jewish Settlers in the West Bank
It was the deadliest assault on a settlement since Israel began its sweep in the West Bank on March 29, and another blow to the fragile diplomacy seeking to contain the violence in the Middle East.

The attack was almost certain to prompt the Israeli government to consider dispatching more ground forces to this area, just as President Bush has stepped up his call for a full Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian-controlled territory. Mr. Bush is himself under pressure, from the government of Saudi Arabia, which warned him this week that he must temper his support for Israeli measures against Palestinians or risk undermining American credibility in the Arab world.
