1. (SBU) According to PA Civil Affairs director Hussayn
al-Shaykh and Joint Security Committee (JSC) head Samir
Makhzumi Qaysi, IDF Central Command liaison officers gave
them a map late April 2 of 48 roadblocks that the IDF said it
had recently removed. (Note: the PA JSC chief leads the PA's
District Coordination Offices (DCOs),which are responsible
for liaison with the IDF but have been largely inactive since
the second Intifadah. End note). Al-Shaykh and Makhzumi
said the IDF called them early April 3 to request that the
maps be returned, as they are incomplete, contain mistakes,
and would be replaced with a more updated version. Al-Shaykh
and Makhzumi said they returned the maps as requested.
2. (SBU) Makhzumi and al-Shaykh said the IDF assured them
they will receive a new, more accurate map the afternoon of
April 3. Both said they would provide the USG with a copy
(please protect) as soon as they receive it.
