Israelis Refuse to Cooperate With U.N. Team
Peres said he feared Israeli soldiers would be put on trial ''like any crime committed in civilian life.''

``The story began with the so-called fact that 3,000 Palestinian civilians lost their life'' but now Palestinians are saying it is down to several hundred, he told CNN. ``To the best of our knowledge, seven civilian persons lost their life (in Jenin).''

Peres said no American commander would allow such an investigation of a U.S. soldier fighting terrorism or otherwise defending his country.
Annan told reporters the United Nations had ``done everything'' to meet Israeli concerns.

``We've really done everything to deal with their concerns. And I think we've been very forthcoming,'' Annan said. He noted that Peres and Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer both had told him a U.N. team would be welcome and assured him Israel had nothing to hide.
