saying PM Barak Barak (bā`răk), in the Bible, leader from N Canaan who fought, with Deborah, against Jabin and Sisera. is not serious about meeting a Feb. 13 deadline for an
outline of a final peace treaty between the 2 sides. On Jan. 28, Barak
cancels a weekend trip to an economic conference in Davos, Switzerland.
(That move dashes hopes for a 3-way summit with Palestinian leader
Arafat and US Pres. Clinton, who both were to be in attendance and
planned to meet.) Palestinian Planning Minister Nabil Shaath Nabil Shaath (Arabic: نبيل شعث) (also spelled Sha'ath, born 1938), a senior Palestinian official, has held the following titles: - Palestinian chief negotiator
- Palestinian cabinet minister
says:
"I think Barak doesn't want to reach an agreement with
us," adding, "all he wants to do is to waste time".
(Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty talks have yielded little progress.

possible the talks would be moved to the Israeli Red Sea resort of Eilat

Arafat says Israel's "delaying and evading implementation of
the interim agreements is harming the peace process very badly".
Shaath says the Palestinians had proposed moving the talks to
Washington, but Israel refused. He says: "We want our negotiations
with the Israelis to be under the supervision of the US, the same as the
negotiations between Syria and Israel". Barak's spokesman,
