<p>Israel admits a new peace-talks player, but delay looms
</p>
<p> For one brief sweet moment, it seemed that the Middle East
peace talks scheduled to reconvene this week after a four-month
hiatus might be more than another round in an interminable game.
Israel agreed to deal directly with a major participant
previously excluded from the table--Faisal Husseini, the
mastermind of the Palestinian delegation. Israel had objected
to Husseini because he comes from East Jerusalem, an area the
country contends is its own. It agreed to include him in hopes
of boosting his relatively moderate position. But days before
the talks were to begin, the main Arab participants asked for
a postponement. The request seemed related to Palestinian
displeasure over both Israel's closure of the occupied
territories and its refusal to repatriate nearly 400
Palestinians who remain in southern Lebanon since their
deportation in December. But responding to U.S. dismay, the
Arabs may yet rethink their position.
