Barak assures participation in Camp David summit despite internal disputes

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak stated that he insists on reaching peace with the Palestinian despite the current disputes inside the cabinet.

Barak said that he is to go to the U.S.A this week to the summit meeting with the Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, but he will not sign except an agreement that takes into account the peace and security interests of Israel.

On the other hand, the Palestinians say that they will not accept any partial solutions that could delay a main cause such as the future of Jerusalem.

The Israeli governmental coalition headed by Barak is faced with a new crisis when three parties topped by the Shas withdrew from the ruling coalition in protest against Barak's participation in the Camp David summit.
