Clinton Says Unsure of Cease-fire in Mideast

US President Bill Clinton said on Tuesday night that it would take several days to see whether an cease-fire agreement could put an end to bloody violence between the Israelis and Palestinians.

"At least we'll see over the next three days whether the violence goes down," Clinton said upon his returning from a two-day emergency Middle East summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

He expressed the belief that both the Israelis and Palestinians wanted to try to control the bloody violence.

It was a "good trip" to attend the summit, he added.

Earlier in the day, Israel and the Palestinians agreed to put an end to the 18-day conflict. However, both sides did not sign the peace deal and sporadic clashes, including an exchange of gunfire on the outskirts of Jerusalem continued after the announcement of the peace agreement.
