GAZA, June 23 (Xinhuanet) -- A high-ranking Palestinian security official said Thursday that the Israeli side has presented detailed maps concerning a planned Gaza pullout.

    Palestinian Deputy Interior Minister General Jamal Abu Zayed made the remarks after a meeting with Israeli officials on the implementation of the Gaza pullout in Tel Aviv on Wednesday.

    "The meeting was fruitful and positive, and the issue of the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the redeployment in northern West Bank were discussed," he said.

    The two sides presented and discussed their proposals for the gradual implementation of the withdrawal, he said.

    He said that the two sides agreed to hold another meeting between field officers to continue coordination and create a proper atmosphere for the withdrawal.

    "We agreed to meet again to help finalize the withdrawal," he added.

    Israel plans to start withdrawing all 21 Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and four of 120 in northern West Bank in mid-August after almost four decades of occupation.

    Coordination over the pullout has been underway since earlier this month to ensure a smooth and peaceful evacuation. Enditem
