Kofi Annan, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, has agreed to a one-day delay in the truth-seeking mission to the Palestinian refugee camp in Jenin. This visit is now expected to take place on Sunday. A senior UN official stated that the Israeli Foreign Ministry requested the postponement so that the Israeli cabinet could discuss the mission of the delegation on Sunday morning, after the Jewish religious holiday, Shabbat. Israeli officials have expressed concern that the UN delegation will focus on the destruction of the Jenin camp and ignore Israel's argument that the camp has been a refuge for terrorists. Israel rejects the Palestinian claims that its forces committed a massacre in the Jenin camp during their incursion into the West Bank.
