For a second straight day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu postponed a Cabinet meeting at which his ministers were to discuss the Wye agreement. He said he is still awaiting a Palestinian Authority commitment to arrest 30 wanted Islamic militants.

Meanwhile, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat maintained that 12 of the suspects have already been arrested.
