Clinton meets with Israeli’s Barak, makes appeal for Middle East peai
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Clinton was making another
appeal Sunday to end the violence
in the Middle East, meeting at the
White House with Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Barak three days af
ter a visit with Palestinian leader
Yasser Arafat.
Barak, whose trip was delayed
after twice reversing his plane’s
course due to a hijacking crisis at
home, has offered little hope the
meeting could help to end the blood
shed that has killed nearly 200 peo
ple in the past six weeks.
The violence has shattered what
remained of Clinton’s hopes for a
settlement before his term ends in
January.
Arafat, who held discussions
Thursday with the president, indicat
ed afterward that he would consider
another Middle East summit, with
Clinton as host, provided it was well-
prepared “to ensure its success.” And
that, the Palestinian leader said,
meant on accord on both Jerusalem
and refugees.
Barak has refused to turn over
East Jerusalem to the Palestinians,
but offered them a larger role in run
ning their daily affairs in Israel's
declared capital. He has called a
time-out in peacemaking until the
violence ends.
Sunday’s meeting was set for
early afternoon but was pushed back
into the evening because of the hi
jacking. A Russian airliner headed
to Moscow on a domestic flight was
seized by a Chechen man who sur
rendered after diverting the plane to
Israel’s southern desert. The 57 pas
sengers and crew were all safe, offi
cials said.
As the hijacking ended, Barak's
plane reversed course for a second
time and headed back for Washing
ton. Barak left Israel on Saturday
night before the hijacking began. But
at a stopover in London, hei
to return to Israel to deal withtj
sis. He was still in the air as j
jacking approached a
when he decided to resumetij
ney to the United States.
Barak was scheduled
Monday evening in Chicagotj
a meeting of the United]
Communities.
