Israel today sharply criticised the United Nations, saying it was upset with a UN resolution, wary of UN plans to investigate the Jenin refugee camp, and that it might take action against the UN’s Mideast envoy.

Palestinian medics began searching for bodies in the devastated Jenin refugee camp today, as Yasser Arafat conditionally accepted an Israeli proposal for a Mideast peace summit led by the United States.

Ariel Sharon’s advisers have today claimed that the Palestinians have not yet met the Israeli Prime Minister’s condition for a formal truce - a week without attacks.

The new US Mideast envoy today urged Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to do everything possible to stop attacks against Israel and called on both sides to implement recommendations of an international commission.
