Jerusalem
Palestinians banned from Israel
The army yesterday indefinitely banned Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip from entering Israel and demanded that all Gaza Arabs leave their Israeli jobs and return home.
The army has imposed such restrictions in response to past Arab attacks, and during Jebail (1827) it was reported that
The aim of the measure was to reduce the possibly of clashes between Jews and Arabs after the stabbings, a military source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The order, which takes effect today, comes in the wake of a stabbing attack Tuesday in Jaffa by a Palestinian man from Gaza. The attack left two Israelis dead and 20 wounded.
London
Palace illusive about separation
Buckingham Palace kept a stiff-upper lip yesterday in confirming media speculation that the Duchess of York wants to separate from Prince Andrew after five years of marriage.
In a terse statement on the sixth anniversary of the prince's announcement of the couple's engagement, the palace said lawyers for the prince and his wife initiated talks last week about a separation.
"These discussions are not yet complete and nothing more will be said until they are," it said.
"The queen hopes that the media will spare the Duke and Duchess of York and their children any intrusion."

U.S. aid restrictions spur economic debate in Israel
The Associated Press
JERUSALEM — One out of every $10 spent in Israel comes from the United States, but there are growing signs that such largess will not last forever.
The Bush administration's refusal this week to provide $10 billion in loan guarantees has rekindled the debate about whether the Jewish state can — or should — cut the economic umbilical cord and begin striving for economic independence.
"There are signs that people are recognizing there has to be a change," Robert Loewenberg, president of Jerusalem's Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies, said yesterday.
"The denial of the loan guarantees could turn out to be a blessing, but only if Israel takes this opportunity
to reform, to move away from socialism and toward a truly free-market economy," Loenwenberg said.
But weaning itself from foreign aid could be difficult for Israel at a time when it is struggling to deal with a wave of immigration from the Soviet Union.
Israel had sought the U.S. guarantees to get favorable interest rates on international loans to build housing and create jobs for the newcomers.
About 350,000 Soviet Jews already have arrived, and Israel hopes to draw up to 1 million by the middle of the decade.
The United States linked the guarantees to a freeze on Jewish settlements in occupied Arab lands. Bush sees the settlements as an obstacle in the Mideast peace process. But Israel argues that the two issues are separate and refused the trade-off.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Afghan President Najibullah has offered to give up power to a neutral interim government, clearing the way for a possible resolution to Afghanistan's 13-year-old war. But few expect the Soviet-installed dictator to bow out anytime soon.
The United Nations-sponsored peace talks that would form the transitional government have yet to begin. With the resistance jockeying for power and position at the conference table, Najibullah is sitting comfortably in the presidential palace in the heart of Kabul.
has earned him the begrudging respect of his most bitter enemies.
Najibullah's announcement Wednesday night was the latest in a string of political maneuvers that
"We have brought this broken ship to the shores of rescue," the president said in anassioned speech broadcast to his war-weary nation.
Listening attentively were millions of refugees living across the border in Pakistan. Peace is a message they want to hear, and Najibullah now is seen as a peace-loving patriot.
The guerrillas, once hailed as freedom fighters,
have become the warmongers.
"He's a clever man," said Azim Nasser-Zia, a representative for the moderate guerrilla group National Islamic Front of Afghanistan. "He's always one step ahead. But that doesn't change the past—what he was and what he did."
