Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Secretary of State Colin Powell have agreed on a seven-day violence-free period to test a U.S.-brokered cease-fire with the Palestinians. This would be followed by a 1)cooling off period of six weeks and the introduction of measures to re-build trust between the two sides.
Mr. Sharon and Mr. Powell announced an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians toward a 2)resumption of peace 3)negotiations1.
Appearing at a joint2 news conference, they said there must be a seven-day period of complete calm, followed by a cooling-off period.
Mr. Sharon says he and Mr. Powell are completely 4)in accord with the 5)principle that the violence must stop before political progress can begin. "As the secretary just said now, it should be completely quiet, and then we'll start with those seven days, where we have to check whether that really works and, of course, we will continue for six weeks," said Mr. Sharon.
Mr. Powell made it clear that before negotiations can re-start, there must be a halt to the 6)bloodshed that began last September and has left nearly 600 people dead. "This is a package," he said. "It is a plan. It will work, if we can get the violence ended. So, let that be our strongest wish. Let that also be the object of all our efforts in the days and weeks ahead."
Mr. Powell strongly condemned3 the killing4 of a Jewish settler woman on Thursday by Palestinian gunmen.
Mr. Arafat pledged his commitment to 7)halting all such attacks during his talks with Mr. Powell in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
Mr. Powell hopes that if the 8)truce is secured, it will eventually lead to a resumption of negotiations aimed at a 9)permanent end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "[What] we are trying to indicate through this process," he said, "is that you will slowly build up a level of trust and confidence that will lead to a point that the sides will feel they have developed enough trust and confidence, that they can go back into final status negotiations." Mr. Powell also 10)clarified earlier remarks about observers to monitor the violence. "Earlier today, when we were talking about monitors and observers, I had it in the context of what the two sides might decide to do within their own resources, or whatever resources might be appropriate by 11)mutual agreement, not some outside group of forces coming in," he said. "The word force was used in one of the [media] reports. No such thought, no such consideration. We have spoken against that kind of 12)intervention previously5."
Mr. Sharon also re-stated his opposition6 to the idea of international observers to monitor steps taken by Israel and the Palestinians. He has relied on U.S. government support to block such a move in meetings of the U.N. 13)Security Council.
The Israeli leader says outsiders are not needed to establish the facts about violent incidents.
