Remarks after Secretary Powell's meeting with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon

AMBASSADOR BOUCHER:  Secretary of State Powell had a very good and thorough discussion with Prime Minister Sharon this evening. He discussed with Prime Minister Sharon some ideas on how to achieve what Israelis and Palestinians want:  an end to the violence and moving forward on the political issues. He stressed our serious concerns about the humanitarian situation, particularly in Jenin. We note that Israel continues to withdraw. The Secretary pressed for its completion.

He will be traveling to Beirut and Damascus tomorrow for discussions of another situation of urgent and serious concern: firing across the UN line at Israel's northern border. He will return to Jerusalem tomorrow evening. We have no schedule yet for Tuesday.
