Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat follows U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan in Gaza City late Monday, Oct. 9, 2000, after a news conference following a meeting. The discussions will continue Tuesday. On Saturday night, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak gave Arafat a 48-hour ultimatum to end the recent violence across the West Bank and Gaza Strip that has left at least 82 dead--almost all Palestinians--and thrown the Mideast peace process into turmoil.
