Occupied Jerusalem: Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak has said he will allow 600 foreign-trained Palestinian police in the West Bank town of Jenin.
The move is seen as an important step by the Palestinian government headed by President Mahmoud Abbas to restore law and order.
The officers have been receiving special training since January in neighbouring Jordan.
Jenin has often been the site of frequent clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants.
