During the first few months of 1949, direct negotiations were conducted under U.N. auspices between Israel and each of the invading countries (except Iraq, which refused to negotiate with Israel), resulting in armistice agreements that reflected the situation at the end of the fighting. Accordingly, the coastal plain, Galilee and the entire Negev came within Israel's sovereignty. The Gaza Strip came under Egyptian administration, and the West Bank and Eastern Jerusalem came under Jordanian rule. These were subsequently annexed to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which never thought it necessary to establish an independent Palestinian state in the newly...

He listened as Ciller insisted that Turkey's attack on Kurdish rebels based in northern Iraq was a retaliation against terrorism. Her words were eerily resonant.

In an interview with TIME editors in New York, Ciller said she had begun to withdraw some of the 35,000 Turkish troops from the anarchic region of northern Iraq. "If they form their bases again, I will go in there again," she added. "But we're not going to stay there." Yet, asked today whether Turkish troops would be out of Iraq within a month, the prime minister was coy: "I can't give you a date, but relax...
