- <p>Israel admits a new peace-talks player, but delay looms
- </p>
- <p> For one brief sweet moment, it seemed that the Middle East
- peace talks scheduled to reconvene this week after a four-month
- hiatus might be more than another round in an interminable game.
- Israel agreed to deal directly with a major participant
- previously excluded from the table--Faisal Husseini, the
- mastermind of the Palestinian delegation. Israel had objected
- to Husseini because he comes from East Jerusalem, an area the
- country contends is its own. It agreed to include him in hopes
- of boosting his relatively moderate position. But days before
- the talks were to begin, the main Arab participants asked for
- a postponement. The request seemed related to Palestinian
- displeasure over both Israel's closure of the occupied
- territories and its refusal to repatriate nearly 400
- Palestinians who remain in southern Lebanon since their
- deportation in December. But responding to U.S. dismay, the
- Arabs may yet rethink their position.
