SOURCE- WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY, ASSOCIATED PRESS Clinton Urges Summit On Mideast Violence The Associated Press WASHINGTON - President Clinton turned to telephone diplomacy to urge Israel and the Palestinians to stop fighting as his call for a quick sum mit failed Tuesday to stir broad support. Among alternatives Clinton was offering were a summit this week in Cairo, Egypt, with either himself or Secretary of State Madeleine Albright sitting with the principals to the violent confrontation in which more than 80 people have died in less than two weeks. The Arabs don’t want to go to a sum mit until after an Oct. 21 Arab League meeting in Cairo, while Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak is insisting the vio lence end before any meeting. “There just has been no decision, one way or another,” State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said to a question about whether Albright would Free lunch or dinner j with purchase of a lunch or dinner and two beverages at regular price.

While Clinton’s proposal for a sum mit or other U.S. contacts “will, of course, be discussed on their merits,” Barak told Israel Radio, “there is no logic in our saying on the one hand that we demand an end to the violence, and on tjie other, when there is an attempt to convene a meeting for the purpose of halting the violence.” Egypt, the projected host, was luke warm to the idea as well. On a visit to Syria, Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa said “the next event will be the Arab summit” that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has called for Oct. 21-22 in Cairo. Syria’s foreign minister, Farouk al- Sharaa, said: “I don’t think there are indications that a summit will be held in Sharm el-Sheik,” an Egyptian Red Sea resort at the tip of Sinai.
