The United States will vouch that the Palestinians are fulfilling their commitments under the Wye agreement should a dispute on the matter evolve, according to a letter in the Israeli daily Ha’aretz. The publication of the letter, reportedly given to Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat from U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, comes as Israel is scheduled to redeploy by Monday from 2 percent of West Bank land under its security control, and 7.1 percent of territory under joint Israeli-Palestinian control, according to the agreement.
