MidEast Peace Talks

Published: 31 July 2000 y., Monday
Palestinians and Israelis kept peace talks going Sunday after their Camp David summit ended without agreement, and a top Palestinian negotiator said the two sides had a long way to go to close a final deal. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat and his Israeli counterpart Oded Eran met in the West Bank town of Jericho. ``We just came back from Camp David. Obviously there was some progress made there but not enough. We both have a desire to continue and to reach positive results so in this spirit we met today,'' Eran told reporters. Palestinians want full sovereignty in Arab East Jerusalem as the capital of the independent state they plan to declare this year. Israelis say Jerusalem is their indivisible capital. Israeli political sources said Barak told the cabinet on Sunday that he did not find Arafat truly ready to enter into a discussion on Jerusalem. They said he made clear at the summit that no prime minister in Israel would sign on the transfer of sovereignty on Temple Mount and the Old City to others but offered the Palestinians administration of religious matters on the Temple Mount. Arafat also rejected a U.S. proposal to put off a solution for Jerusalem for 15-20 years, the sources said.
