Settlers take over buildings in
Arab neighborhood in Jerusalen
T1
JERUSALEM (AP) — Jewish ex
tremists hooked up rooftop sur
veillance cameras Monday in an
Arab neighborhood they moved
into under the cover of darkness,
staking a claim on a part of
Jerusalem the Palestinians want
for a future capital.
Prime Minister Benjamin Ne
tanyahu awaited word Monday from
Israel’s attorney general on whether
he can evict the settlers, who occu
pied two buildings on Jerusalem’s
Mount of Olives. But he warned it
would be difficult to take any action
against them.
Less than 24 hours after entering
the Ras al-Amud neighborhood,
home to 11,000 Palestinians, the 11
settlers prepared for a long stay,
bringing in pots of steaming food
and covering floors with mattresses.
Dozens of troops were posted near
by to protect them.
Outside the compound, Israeli
peace activists and Palestinian resi
dents set up a tent covered with plac
ards that read: “Kick the settlers out
of Ras al-Amud.”
The settler action threatened to
trigger new confrontations between
Israelis and Palestinians at a time
when both sides are trying to restore
trust following last week’s visit by Sec
retary of State Madeleine Albright.
“It comes at a time when the last
thing we need is another crisis,”
Palestinian spokeswoman Hanan
Ashrawi said. “We feel that the ex
tremists once again are trying not
just to put obstacles in the path of
peace, but to ignite a powder keg.”
Ras al-Amud is located in an area
of east Jerusalem claimed by the
Palestinians as the capital of a frrture
state. The settlers’ supporters, in
cluding Cabinet hawk Ariel Sharon,
said a Jewish bridgehead there would
break up the continuity ofAi
neighborhoods.
Located just outside the walls
the Old City, Ras al-Amud c
panoramic view of the gold-i
Dome of the Rock Mosque, oneol
lam’s holiest shrines.
The settlers leased the builds
from Irving Moskowitz, a Miami
go millionaire who owns 3 l/2ai
in Ras al-Amud and hopes event
ly to build a Jewish neighborhoos 'j
50 apartments there.
The settlers say that Moskot
purchased all the homes I
moved into from their Arabos
ers several days ago. Howe

homes was still being rentedin

Albright urges renewed peace talks"
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — On a visit to Beirut un
der tight security, Secretary of State Madeleine Al
bright said Monday that she found “a willingness and
desire” to resume Mideast peace talks in Syria,
Lebanon and Israel.
She urged Lebanese leaders to resume negotia
tions with Israel but said she recognized that those
talks should be in line with Israel’s talks with Syria,
which dominates Lebanon’s politics.
Albright’s unannounced trip to Beirut came during
an escalation in fighting between the Israeli army and
Shiite Muslims in south Lebanon, and she said the vi
olence showed the desperate need for peace.
“The recent tragic violence in the south of your
country has underlined for all concerned that the sta
tus quo is not acceptable,” she said in a speech to aca
demics, business leaders and others in Beirut.
Albright’s visit to Lebanon ended a weeklong tour
of the Middle East — her first to the region as secre
tary of state — that also took her to Israel, the Pales
tinian territories, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
She earlier conceded she made only small steps to
ward restarting talks between Israelis and Palestini
ans. Regarding Israeli negotiations with Syria and
Lebanon, she said there was a need “to talk further
about further talks.”
But Albright added that in Jerusalem, Damascus
and Beirut, “I have found in each of the three gov
ernments a willingness and desire to resume ne
gotiations.”
Expressing American determination to push
peace, she added: “In the absence of a peace elevas
we are methodically taking the stairs.”
Albright noted that U.S. officials will meetiv
Lebanese, Syrian and Israeli officials in New York!
er this month.
“We will see whether the ... mutual interest
progress is matched by a mutual willingness toa
sider seriously each others’ views," she said.
Albright talked about a possible trip to Lebai
throughout her tour, but no decision was mad'
nal until her plane landed Monday on theeaste
Mediterranean island of Cyprus after a flightfn
Jordan.
She flew aboard a U.S. helicopter to theforti
U.S. Embassy compound in the Beirut suburb
Aukar, and then went in a heavily guarded moton
to the presidential palace in Baahda, anothersute "
In an hour-long meeting with President E
Hrawi, Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and Foreign5
ister Paris Bweiz, the secretary urged renewingpe;
talks with Israel.
“The Lebanese-Israeli track is absolutelyessem
for a comprehensive Middle East peace settleiM
she said. "We must go forward on all tracks.”
But she added the various talks "shouldbeat
proximately the same pace,” assuring Syria thatWas
ington would not divert Lebanon into a separatedi
with Israel as it did in the 1980s — only to have Da:
ascus torpedo the accord.

Sinn Fein enters negotiations in Northern Irelaii
BELPAST, Northern Ireland (AP)
— The IRA-allied Sinn Lein party
entered Northern Ireland’s peace
talks for the first time Monday,
frightening off all five pro-British
Protestant parties.
Sinn Lein leader Gerry Adams,
surrounded by party comrades,
passed through gates that had been
locked to them when the talks on
Northern Ireland’s political future
began in June 1996.
“We do think that this could be
the beginning of the end of con
flict on this island, if the political
will is there to build agreement,”
Adams said. Sinn Lein was admit
ted after the outlawed IRA stopped
its violent campaign against
British rule of Northern Ireland
eight weeks ago.
Ulster Unionist leader David
Trimble, whose party represents a
critical third of Northern Ireland
opinion, boycotted the talks at Cas
tle Buildings, a drab office block
within the British administrative
center in east Belfast.
As expected, the two most hard
line Protestant parties, Ian Paisley’s
Democratic Unionists and Bob Mc
Cartney’s United Kingdom Union
ists, failed to show up Monday. TWo
small but influential parties linked
to pro-British paramilitary gangs
also refused to participate.
Paisley, however, submitted a
motion in absentia calling for Sinn
Lein’s expulsion. The chairman of
“We do think that this
could be the beginning
of the end of conflict on
this island, if the polith
cal will is there to build
an agreement.”
GERRY ADAMS
SINN FEIN LEADER
the talks, former U.S. Senate Major
ity Leader George Mitchell, dis
missed it because the plaintiffs
weren’t there.
Three miles away, Trimble invited
the British government’s political de
velopment minister, Paul Murphy, to
his party’s downtown headquarters.
The two discussed what Trimble
called “the precise procedural
arrangements for our involvement in
the multi-party talks.”
Trimble said he would lead the
Ulster Unionists into negotiations
involving Sinn Lein “as soon as pos
sible,” but is looking for assurances
that his party’s views won’t be over
ruled or ignored.
Before that meeting, British
Prime Minister Tony Blair andl
Prime Minister Bertie Ahern
ready had offered Trimble vaii
assurances.
Their joint statement eif
sized that the disarmament of
IRA and pro-British paramil
groups was “an indispensablep
of negotiations, and any prop:
settlement must win majority}
lie approval within Northern
land.
That is critical to the 111
Unionists, who were instrumf
in founding the predominii
Protestant state in 1920.
Inside the negotiating r#
moderate politicians fromfomi
ties grilled Adams about thei
worth of his formal renunciatio:
violence. Adams made the pit
last Tuesday — a requirement!)
negotiators — but the IRA spot
said it wouldn’t agree to the ten
Adams, reputed to be a for
IRA commander, insistedSinnl
has no “organic” connectionto
policies. Other politicians in
room were skeptical.
“The process would have!)
greatly strengthened if Sinnl
would admit that it did reprei
the IRA, and so could deliver
peace,” said John Alderdice,!®
of Alliance, the only party to
tract support from Protestants)
Catholics.
