JERUSALEM: Internal political considerations prevented Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat from beginning the New Year with an agreement in place on Israeli troop withdrawal from Hebron. Netanyahu was forced to postpone his New Year?s Eve summit with Arafat in order to guide his 1997 budget through the Israeli Knesset as crucial close votes coincided with the peace talks. U.S. mediator Dennis Ross said that while the two sides were very close on the Hebron agreement, ?We are not there yet.?

...declaring that in today's Europe, NATO has no intention, no plan and no need to station nuclear weapons on the territory of any new members," Christopher said, adding he hoped Russia would accept expansion. Christopher offered the assurances as the 16 NATO foreign ministers set a summit meeting for next summer to expand the alliance as soon as in 1999. Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary are considered locks; Romania and Slovenia could join them. But Christopher was less forceful on the problem of Slobodan Milosevic, whom he criticized cautiously: "We join in condemning the Serbian government's decision...
