JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel said on Sunday it would put on hold for "a number of weeks" its threatened razing of a Bedouin village in the occupied West Bank amid international calls to drop the plan, saying it would try to negotiate an evacuation.

The decision was announced after a meeting of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet.
