Middle East leaders consider truce
Arafat's presence unsure for a summit addressing a U.S. peace proposal
JERUSALEM — Palestinian and Israeli leaders separately pondered a U.S. truce proposal yesterday, while the United States pressed a reluctant Israel to let Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat attend this week's Arab summit in Beirut regardless of whether a cease-fire is reached.
The Associated Press
The Israeliis and Palestinians held separate consultations late last night, with U.S. officials pressing for quick answers about their ideas to bridge gaps over implementing a truce plan negotiated last June by CIA Director George Tenet.
It appeared that a planned three-way meeting would have to be put off until today because of the consultations, a diplomatic source said.
The Palestinian leadership said Arafat's participation is a "Palestinian right and the Palestinian leadership rejects any Israeli blackmail."
tomatic source skin.
Time was running out for an Israeli decision about whether Arafat would travel to the Beitruit summit, which begins tomorrow.
Jibril Rajoub, a senior Palestinian security official, claimed that Arafat's participation in the summit was "100 percent assured."
"The decision will be made very close to the time of the summit," Gissin told The Associated Press.
Sharon has insisted that a cease-fire be in place before Arafat leaves the Palestinian areas. Israel controls entry and exit of those areas.
Raanan Gissin, an aide to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said the decision would be made today or tomorrow morning.
At the United Nations, spokesman Fred Eckhard said Secretary-General Kofi Annan was calling on Israel to allow Arafat to attend because the meeting is "expected to endorse an important peace proposal."
For three months, Israeli tanks confined Arafat to his West Bank headquarters in Ramallah. Israel eased the restrictions two weeks ago, allowing him to travel freely in the Palestinian areas, but he has still not left the Ramallah area.
The Palestinian issue is to be a focus of the two-day Arab League summit, where Saudi Arabia is to present a proposal for Mideast peace.
Mideast peace. Arab League chief Amr Moussa said the summit also would address the occupation of Arab land and threats against an unspecified Arab country — a reference to U.S. threats of military action against Iraq, and threats to Islamic culture.
According to a text sent to the Palestinians, the peace proposal calls for an end to the Israel-Arab conflict in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from lands it captured in the 1967 war—the West Bank, Gaza Strip, east Jerusalem, Golan Heights and a tiny parcel of disputed land on the Lebanon border.
Israel's government rejects a total withdrawal.
There is also a hot dispute over the difficult issue of the nearly 4 million Palestinian war refugees and their descendants that is not resolved by the Saudi proposal.
Arab foreign ministers met yesterday in Beirut under tight security and were said to be working on phrasing to address that issue.
Sharon presented his own peace plan with the Palestinians yesterday. He told members of his Likud party that he favored a three-stage process, starting with a cease-fire, then an open-ended partial agreement and finally talks on a peace accord.
Argentina's currency falls as recession looms
The Associated Press
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — New government restrictions on currency trading did little to halt the peso's crumbling value yesterday as worried Argentines flooded exchange houses seeking dollars as a safeguard.
The peso tumbled 20 percent despite government moves to scale back trading hours and fix prices at some currency houses, falling for the sixth straight day to 3.9 to the dollar. The peso closed at 3.1 Friday.
The weakening currency offered up a new problem to those already plaging President Eduardo Duhalde's attempts to rescue Argentina from a four-year recession.
The peso's depreciation comes amid concerns a spike in consumer goods prices could push the troubled country into further economic chaos.
The battered peso has lost more than 65 percent of its value since January, and Argentines worried the economy is again taking a turn for the worst crowded Buenos Aires banks and exchange houses to shed their pesos.
The currency's plunge follows a decision two months ago to let the peso float against the dollar. The devaluation has raised fears of inflation and further turmoil in South America's second-largest economy.
"I'll pay any price. Buying dollars is the only way I can protect my money."
Estela Solari
Buenos Aires housewife
For more than a decade until the January devaluation, the peso had been pegged at one-to-one with the dollar, making the Argentine currency one of the most stable in Latin America.
But those days seemed a distant memory yesterday for many Argentines.
Immersed in a four-year recession, the battered economy has triggered a $141 billion debt default and pushed thousands of Argentines into unemployment, now at more than 22 percent.
"I'll pay any price," said Estela Solari, a 43-year-old housewife, waiting behind dozens of people to change money at a Buenos Aires bank. "Buying dollars is the only way I can protect my money."
The currency troubles are the latest blow to an already ravaged economy.
Widespread supermarket looting and bloody street riots forced President Fernando De la Rua from office last December. plunging the country into political and social upheaval.
