Baker presses peacemaking push amid Middle East talks
A senior official said Shamir considered Baker's land-for-peace approach. Baker toured the region seeking Arab and Israeli backing for Bush's plan, while Abu Sharif signaled a Palestinian state short of the full West Bank and Gaza. Israel dismissed the remark and Arafat’s camp tried to distance itself. Police lifted Jerusalem roadblocks after deadly stabbings. A Red Cross plane brought home 14 allied Desert Storm dead. Iraq’s opposition claimed less support for revolt. An AP poll found Americans evenly split on pressuring Israel to negotiate with Palestinians.
