Security Council held emergency consultations Tuesday night after Israel delayed a U.N. tact-1 aid ing mission to the war-ravaged Jenin refugee camp. An Israeli official charged that the three-member fact-finding team was chosen by Secretary-General Kofi Annan without consulting Israel, as had been agreed, and that the members were political and not from a military background as Israel had requested. A Western diplomat said Israel wants to nego tiate terms for the team’s activities in Palestinian areas, and wants one member removed. Comelio Sommaruga, former president of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The mission's arrival will be delayed until the problem is solved, the Israeli official said in Jerusalem. Finnish Prime Minister Martti Ahtisaari, the team leader, was scheduled to fly to Geneva on Tuesday night and hook up with other members there on Wednesday. He was expecting to be in the Middle East by the end of the week. Arab nations have accused Israel of massacring Palestinian civilians in the camp, but Israel says the deaths and destruction resulted from gunbattles between its soldiers and Palestinian gunmen. The fighting in Jenin was the fiercest of Israel’s 3-week-old military offensive. Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres gave a green light to the fact-finding mission on Friday say ing the country had “nothing to hide.” The Security Council unanimously endorsed the mission.

West Bank (AP) — A Palestinian stand ing at a window inside the Church of the Nativity com pound was shot by cm Israeli soldier and seriously wounded Wednesday, the army and Palestinian witnesses said. The shooting came as Israelis and Palestinians planned a second day of nego tiations in an attempt to resolve a three-week standoff at the church, built on the traditional site of Jesus' birthplace. The man, who was armed according to the army, was evacuated to a Jerusalem hospital. About 200 armed Palestinians — with several dozen others — have been holed up inside the church since April 2, when they entered to escape advancing Israeli troops. Meanwhile, a confronta tion was brewing between Israel and the United Nations over a fact-finding mission appointed to look into the battle in the Jenin refugee camp. U.N. Secretary- General Kofi Annan rebuffed an Israeli demand to delay the mission, ordering the team to arrive in the Middle East by Saturday. Israel says it wants the team to include people with military and anti terrorism experience. In Bethlehem, Israeli and Palestinian officials met Tuesday at the Bethlehem Peace Center, a few yards away from the fortress-like 4th-century stone church. The Palestinians have pro posed that the gunmen be escorted to the Palestinian- controlled Gaza Strip. Israel has been insisting that they must surrender and either be put on trial in Israel or be deported.
