SUGGESTED LEAD-IN:
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and his prime minister say they have neared agreement on the formation of a new Cabinet, which has been in limbo for weeks amid a power struggle between the two men.
The appointment of a new government would clear the way for a renewal of high-level talks with Israel and could create some momentum in the stalled "road map" peace plan.
Meanwhile on Saturday, Israel troops killed two Palestinians in clashes in the West Bank and two other Palestinians in Gaza.
VOICE-OVER:
0003 Israeli troops looking for militants planning suicide attacks were besieged by a group of Palestinian stone- throwers in Nablus, despite a curfew in the West Bank town.
0013 Since the outbreak of violence in September 2000, more than 100 Palestinian suicide attacks - all but one launched from the West Bank - have claimed hundreds of Israeli lives.
0023 Also in Nablus on Saturday, thousands of Palestinians attended the funeral of a 23-year-old man who was killed by Israeli troops during clashes on Friday in the refugee camp of Balata.
0035 Palestinian witnesses say the dead man was an unarmed bystander, but the Israeli army says it shot at a person who threw three explosive devices at troops.
0044 Meanwhile, hundreds of Israeli and Arab peace activists demonstrated against the building of a barrier in east Jerusalem.
0051 The barrier is part of a broader Israeli project to protect Israelis from Palestinian suicide bombers and other attackers.
