A group of Israeli and Arab teen-agers meeting in Jerusalem called on their leaders to stop bickering and make peace. The teens, who had gathered for a reunion, are graduates of the Seeds of Peace program, a camp in Maine that promotes peace and understanding. U.S. Middle East envoy Dennis Ross, in the region for a peacekeeping mission, visited the reunion and told the teens, “You are an inspiration to us because you are a reminder of what we are supposed to be doing.”
