Arafat Agrees to Israel Delay in Land for Security Deal
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said yes to a request from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to delay the start of the land-for-security agreement by a few days. Israel plans to withdraw 13 percent of the West Bank over 12 weeks, with Palestinian security steps. U.S. officials say timetable remains intact. Netanyahu said the delay could be only technical, and he expects Knesset approval though cabinet support is less certain. Construction at Kiryat Arba outside Hebron continues.
