Land link opening delayed 11 h
Gaza Strip-West Bank connection awaits technical-issue
JERUSALEM (AP) — In the
first major setback in the revived
peace process, Israelis said yes
terday that only technical issues
delay the opening of a land link
for Palestinians between the West
Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Palestinians insisted issues of
principle are at stake.
The “safe passage,” which had
been scheduled to open yester
day, is to provide the first unfet
tered route for Palestinians be
tween the two areas, and is key
to smoothing peace talks revived
last month by Prime Minister
Ehud Barak and Palestinian
leader Yasser Arafat.
Palestinians said the 11-hour
delay is due to Israel’s insistence
it issue magnetic-card passes and
maintain power of arrest along
the route, running from the
northern Gaza Strip to the south
ern West Bank.
“We consider these points de
grading and humiliating towards
the Palestinian people and the
Palestinian Authority,” negotiator
Jamil Tarifi said yesterday. “If Is
rael maintains their position, safe
passage is meaningless.”
Public Security Minister Shlo-
mo Ben-Ami insisted the differ
ences were "technical” and said
he was certain the Palestinians
would come to understand why
Israel needs to maintain the pow
er of arrest.

KUPANG, Indonesia (AP) — In
donesia will let the United Nations
fly refugees home to East Timor
from their squalid camps, U.N. of
ficials said yesterday, offering hope
to more than 100,000 people evict
ed from their homeland.
Craig Sanders, who is leading a
U.N. assessment mission in West
Timor, told the Associated Press
that some refugees could be taken
back on U.N.-chartered flights as
early as Wednesday.
In Geneva, U.N. High Commis
sioner for Refugees Sadako Ogata
welcomed the news, which she
said was the first tangible result of
her meeting last month with In
donesia’s president.
“If the return actually happens,
it will bring an end to the ordeal of
thousands of miserable people,”
she said.
Aid agencies said the majority of
the 230,000 refugees taken to West
Timor — many of them against their
will — would return if given a
chance.
Pro-Indonesian militias went oi
a bloody rampage in East Timor al
ter the province voted overwhelm
ingly to break away from Indone
sia, which ruled the forme
Portuguese colony since 1975.
