Pres. Arafat and PM Netanyahu sign a deal negotiated over nine days at the Wye River summit, which at times was attended by US Pres. Clinton and Jordan’s King Hussein, agreeing that Palestinians will step up efforts against alleged terrorists, confiscate illegal weapons, and remove anti-Israel phrases from their national covenant, while Israel will re-deploy from a further 13% of the West Bank, release several hundred Palestinian prisoners, allow the Palestinian airport in Gaza to open, and provide the safe passage for Palestinians to move between the WBGS.
