Talks fail to halt violence as Israeli Palestinian talks stall
Six Palestinians were killed in a dawn to Friday surge of clashes despite exploratory talks between Yasser Arafat and Israeli negotiators aimed at reviving peace negotiations. Arafat and aides met Shlomo Ben-Ami at the Gaza crossing and planned further talks, while a rumored summit with Ehud Barak was floated. Both sides pressed to implement October's cease-fire and ease the blockade. Israel said 13,000 Palestinian laborers could return to work, but turnout was low. No formal statements were issued by either side.
