Israeli sources said that Sharon proposed to Zinni new pressure means on the Palestinian authority to halt the Intifada ultimately.

Mofaz said that the Palestinian Authority has not yet taken strategic decisions to halt what he called violence and returning back to the table of negotiations. He described the calm prevailing the Palestinian territories as tactical aiming at improving the position of the Palestinian Authority before the world.

Zinni said following his meeting with Arafat on Friday in Ramullah that a tripartite ( American, Israeli, Palestinian) will be organized. The chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Oreikat said the next meeting of this tripartite committee will be held on Monday and Zinni will be attending.
