Ben-Eliezer, Peres to Annan: Israel unhappy with Jenin delegation


UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan appointed a three-member fact-finding team led by former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari to determine what happened during Israel's military assault on the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.

The other two members are Cornelio Sommaruga, former president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and Sadako Ogata, the former UN high commissioner for refugees who is Japan's special envoy on Afghan reconstruction.

Ahtisaari said he hopes the team will arrive in the West Bank later this week.
