Palestinians were optimistic for a quick resolution. But Bethlehem Mayor Hanna Nasser, who participated in the talks, said the discussions ended without a deal. The two sides are to meet again Wednesday. “It was important, and we agreed to continue discus sions” he said, without saying if progress had been made. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, meanwhile, told an American Jewish group he believed a U.S.-sponsored international peace conference could end Mideast hostilities. He credited the Israeli incursion into the West Bank with creat ing the climate for a settlement. "Regional peace is within our grasp,” Sharon said. “I am optimistic about the future." With the Israeli incursion significantly scaled back, grue some street scenes played out as masked Palestinian militiamen summarily executed fellow Palestinians accused of collabo rating with Israel. Three men were shot dead in Hebron, and two of the bullet-riddled bodies were strung up by a mob. The killings were carried out to avenge the Monday night Israeli killing of Marwan Zalloum, commander of the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade in Hebron. “The fate of all collaborators will be like this,” a masked militiaman, wearing an Al Aqsa arst iked A krt« patri trayed attc An Israeli sniper points his rifle toward Bethlehem's , ''^ atl .
