JERUSALEM - The Palestinian parliament will vote on Prime Minister-designate Mahmoud Abbas and his Cabinet on Tuesday, and the long-awaited international peace plan for the Mideast will be presented the next day, Palestinian officials said Saturday.  The White House has said that once the parliament approves Abbas' Cabinet, the "road map" to peace - a joint effort by the so-called Quartet of the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and Russia - will be presented formally.  "We were told that if the Palestinian Legislative Council votes on the Palestinian government on Tuesday, then the road map will be presented Wednesday," said Nabil Shaath, slated to become the minister for foreign affairs in the Cabinet.  The peace plan proposes a three-year timetable toward Palestinian statehood and a comprehensive settlement of the century-long conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, starting with an immediate end to 31 months of violence.  Israel has requested 15 changes in the plan, and Palestinians charge Israel is trying to sabotage it.  Pressed repeatedly, the White House has not given a specific timeframe for officially providing the road map to the parties in the Middle East. But it has signaled that there would be little delay between the legislature's action and the release of the plan.

Palestinian Parliament Speaker Ahmed Qureia told The Associated Press that on Tuesday, the legislature will vote on the new Cabinet. 

A day before, Arafat will meet with members of his Fatah party, which holds a solid majority in the legislature, to urge the party's support for the Cabinet, said a senior Palestinian official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. 

There is some displeasure in the parliament over the lineup, which includes many corruption-tainted holdovers from Arafat's Cabinet. 

Retaining them was a price for Abbas' main achievement, inserting former Gaza security chief Mohammed Dahlan as junior minister in charge of security forces over Arafat's objection. 

Dahlan has the backing of the United States and Europe because of his stated willingness to confront the violent groups responsible for attacks against Israelis. 

Arafat also extracted a promise he would be consulted on major decisions - including, presumably, a crackdown on Palestinian militants. 

Israeli officials have said that for any progress to be made on the peace plan, the Palestinians must make a concerted effort to end terrorism. 

The difficulty of that task was underscored Thursday when a suicide bomber killed a guard and injured 10 bystanders in a rush-hour attack at an Israeli train station. Abbas told Israel's Channel 10 that he condemned the bombing and said, "we oppose all such attacks." 

A breakaway faction of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, linked to Fatah, claimed responsibility for the attack in the town of Kfar Saba, near the West Bank, but Fatah later denied any responsibility. 

Nonetheless, the leader of the Al Aqsa group in the Gaza strip, identified only by his alias Abu Hamid, was quoted in an interview on the Web site of the Yediot Ahronot daily Saturday as saying that the group "will not disarm, even if an order like this was given by Abu Mazen (Abbas) or Mohammed Dahlan." 

He said, "Only the end of the occupation ... can lead to the dismantling of the group," referring to Israeli control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. 

Also Saturday, a Palestinian wounded in a gunfight with Israeli soldiers last week died of his injuries, hospital officials in Gaza said. Khaled Jarbough, 24, was shot in the head in the southern Gaza town of Rafah on April 19. 

In an unusual development, Palestinian relatives of an 18-year-old called Israeli authorities to warn them the youth was going to infiltrate a Jewish settlement and attack Israelis. The army said he was arrested while carrying a knife. 

The relatives said the youth is mentally unbalanced and has tried to attack the settlement of Itamar, near the West Bank city of Nablus, several times.
