United Nations Leader Urges International Action on Mideast
Mr. Annan spoke shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon delivered his address in Jerusalem, in which he also announced plans for a buffer zone between Israeli and Palestinian territories and demanded a full disarmament of the Palestinians.

The secretary general argued that security had to have a context. "It has to be addressed alongside key political issues," he said, "particularly the question of land, and the economic and social issues, including the increasingly critical desperate conditions of the Palestinians."

The "key problems," Mr. Annan said, again diverging widely from the Israelis, were the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory, security, "the need to end violence, including terrorism," and economic deprivation and suffering. "These are inter-linked problems, encompassing the political, security and economic domains," he said.
