Arafat, Peres Due to Meet in Italy to Discuss Mideast Crisis
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat will meet with Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres in the northern Italian city of Como on September 7, Egypt's state-run MENA news agency reported on Thursday.
The two are expected to discuss the latest Mideast crisis during the first high-level Palestinian-Israeli talks mediated by the Europeans, MENA quoted sources as saying.
Arafat and Peres agreed to hold such a meeting during German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer's visit to the Middle East last week, which was aimed at helping ease the more than 11 months of Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
