Israel and PLO resolve issues in peace accord
CAIRO, Egypt — Yasser Arafat and Shimon Peres, Israel's foreign minister, reached agreement yesterday on some critical security issues that have stalled the Israeli-PLO peace accord.
The Associated Press
Peres said he and the PLO chairman had settled "five or six of the most complicated issues" involved in turning over control of the occupied Gaza Strip and West Bank town of Jericho to the Palestinians.
But Peres added, "We didn't complete our work."
ceded to Palestinian control.
The two sides were haggling over control of the crossings from the autonomous Palestinian areas to Egypt and Jordan, security for Jewish settlers who remain in Gaza and how much land around Jericho would be
The final deal is to be negotiated between Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
Among the issues left for Arafat and Rabin to decide was the size of the Jericho area, Peres said.
Peres and Arafat initialed a 21-page document, complete with maps, at a ceremony hosted by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak at the end of three days of talks.
After the ceremony, Arafat and Peres each shook hands with Mubarak and then, in Middle Eastern fashion, kissed him on both cheeks.
As Arafat and Peres spoke in Cairo, members of the World Jewish Congress in Washington got word of the agreement from President Clinton.
"Another big milestone has been achieved today." Clinton said.
The negotiations since Monday have included at least seven sessions between Arafat and Peres. Neither has given details on the talks.
The Israel withdrawal will clear the way for limited Palestinian self-rule in the territories. It was to have begun Dec. 13 according to the PLO-Iraeli peace accord signed in Washington in September.
Negotiators have repeatedly said that any agreement reached in Cairo will almost certainly contain some sensitive problems to be settled later by Arafat and Rabin.
First all-race elections has de Klerk fighting for votes
Israeli and PLO officials both have said it could take at least two more weeks of negotiations to complete specifies.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa It was a sight never seen before a white South African president in tribal garb, brandishing a cowhide shield and wooden club as cameras clicked away.
The campaign appearance by President F.W. de Klerk would have been unthinkable in the heyday of apartheid, when whites ruled unchecked and made no pretensions about appeasing blacks.
That's all changed now, with the black majority — more than 75 percent of the population — preparing to vote for the first time in all-race elections April 26-28.
indicate the ANC, which spear-
headed opposition to white rule
for more than 80 years, could win
more than 60 percent of the vote.
The black vote will decide who leads the first post-parteid government, and observers believe most blacks support the African National Congress. Initial polls
A new constitution drafted by de Klerk's National Party government, the ANC and other groups gives substantial power to a majority party. So de Klerk and others are battling for black support in hopes of preventing an ANC majority.
That appears unlikely. Hatred of the National Party, which created apartheid, runs deep in black areas.
Such popularity convinces the ANC it only needs a strong turnout by black voters in order to win. But obstacles abound in a nation where blacks have never voted, are mostly illiterate and live in townships wracked by political violence.
Aristide asks for end to deportation policy
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The State Department, dismissing complaints by Haiti's deposed President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, defended on humanitarian grounds yesterday the policy of returning all Haitian boat people to their homeland.
Representative Mike McCurry said the Clinton administration found Aristide's demand for an end to the policy "mystifying" and "peculiar."
On Tuesday, Aristide expressed his "profound concern" over the policy because it requires the return to Haiti of people who are fleeing for their lives and who therefore are entitled to political asylum.
But McCurry said Aristide's proposal "amounts in effect to encouraging people to leave Haiti in a way that could only encourage deaths at sea."
President Bush decided to repatriate all Haitians in the spring of 1992 after tens of thousands had tried to flee during the preceding months.
