NATION/WORLD

Peres, Arafat in truce tal

GAZA INTERNATIONAL AIR-
PORT, Gaza Strip (AP) - In truce
talks held at the urging of the United
States, Israel and the Palestinians
agreed yesterday on a series of confi-
dence-building measures aimed at
ending a year of fighting.
The two sides said they wou.ld
resume security coordination and exert
maximum efforts to enforce a cease-
fire. In a first gesture, Israel was to
ease security closures that have severe-
ly disrupted daily life in the Palestin-
ian areas.
Violence continued even as the two

leaders met, underscoring the fragility
of a truce. Just three miles from the
meeting site, a 16-year-old Palestinian
boy was killed and I1 youngsters were
wounded when Israeli troops fired on a
crowd of stone-throwers. Earlier, three
Israeli soldiers were wounded when
Palestinians set off an explosion at an
army post in the same area.
Both sides approached the talks
with great skepticism.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
has been reluctant to allow the meeting
to proceed. Sharon has portrayed
Arafat as an unrepentant terrorist and

said he could not be trusted. The
Palestinians, in turn, have been con-
cerned that Peres, the leading dove in
Sharon's government, only has a limit-
ed mandate.
A major test of the truce will come
tomorrow when Palestinians plan to
mark the first anniversary of the fight-
ing with marches across the West
Bank and Gaza Strip. Traditionally,
such marches have ended in confronta-
tions with Israeli troops.
The United States hopes to calm the
Mideast conflict, which threatens to
get in the way of coalition-building

efforts for the U.S.-ledf
international terrorism.
U.S. Secretary of Statet
repeatedly called Arafat a

Giuliani not read y to leave y

NEW YORK (AP) - Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said
yesterday he will talk to the city's candidates for mayor
and try to come up with a plan that would give him a
continuing role in New York's recovery from the World
Trade Center disaster.
Giuliani was not specific about whether he was
seeking some kind of extension of his term, consider-
ing a run for a third term, or merely looking for a role
in the administration of his successor
"I want to do something that unifies the city because
I love this city," said Giuliani, who is barred under the
City Charter from serving a third term when his cur-

rent term is up on Dec. 31.
In yet another indication of Giuliani's intentions, the
Republican mayor contacted the Democratic speaker
of the state Assembly yesterday, seeking support for
legislation that could extend his stay in office.
Giuliani's remarks came one day after New Yorkers
voted in the primary election, handing billionaire
media mogul Michael Bloomberg the GOP nomina-
tion for mayor and sending two Democrats, Bronx
Borough President Fernando Ferrer and Public Advo-
cate Mark Green, into a runoff next month.
Green was the only Democratic candidate to meet

with Giuliani yesterday; Bloomberg re
