  • Story Text: Israeli soldiers and Palestinian protesters have
    continued their clashes in the West Bank towns of Ramallah and
    Nablus, a day after the two sides agreed to end nearly three
    weeks of bloody violence that has severely retarded the Middle
    East peace process.



    The latest violence Wednesday (October 18) dimmed hopes
    that the U.S.-brokered agreement to end a spate of the
    bloodiest violence in years would work.

    At least 105 people, most of them Arabs, have been killed
    since the violence began.

    Many of the protests on Wednesday were organised by 12
    Palestinian factions including Palestinian President Yasser
    Arafat's Fatah movement and the militant Islamic group Hamas.

    In Jerusalem, Daniel Fliger expressed pessimism about
    reaching peace any time soon.

    "I think that as long as the Palestinians continue to be
    racist and don't respect us... how can we have peace with
    them?"
    Karmit, who refused to give her family name, called the
    agreement reached in Sharm el-Sheik a waste of time, saying
    that Palestinian President Yasser Arafat was playing a cat and
    mouse game with the Israelis.
