The article reflects a broader international perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, focusing on humanitarian concerns and diplomatic responses.

International pressure is mounting on Israel to investigate the military operations of Israeli forces in the Palestinian city of Jenin. The United Nations Security Council began discussions late Thursday on a resolution that will ask Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary-General, to investigate the situation in Jenin. This discussion has been postponed to today. Before the discussions began on Thursday, one UN representative who had visited Jenin described the conditions in the Palestinian refugee camp in the city as horrific and unbelievable. Meanwhile, yesterday Israel rejected Kofi Annan's request to send a multinational force to the region to help end the fighting. The acting Israeli representative at the UN stated that such a force could not end the violence and could not prevent Palestinian militants from attacking Israelis. The White House stated that President Bush supports the proposal to investigate what happened in the Palestinian refugee camp in Jenin. Ari Fleischer, the White House spokesperson, said President Bush agrees with the investigations but did not specify who should conduct them.
