Israel delays U.N. fac
finding mission in Jeni
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N.
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.

BETHLEHEM. 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. Though no agree-
