SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt, Sept. 4 -   Palestinian President Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak signed an agreement in Egypt on Saturday that reactivates stalled Middle East peacemaking after weeks of bruising negotiations. The two men then smiled broadly and shook hands as U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan's King Abdullah watched the ceremony at a luxury hotel in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

 The accord, reached late on Friday with diplomatic support from Mubarak and Albright, is Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's first since he took office in July with a pledge to seek peace with the Palestinians, Syria and Lebanon.

       Mubarak and Albright, whose diplomacy helped clinch the Israeli-Palestinian accord on Friday, signed as witnesses, as did King Abdullah..

Albright's arrival for the signing ceremony followed a dramatic development in the Mideast peace process: Syria notified Albright that it would hold peace talks with Israel if it could be assured of recovering the strategic Golan Heights.

       Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa indicated Syria expects Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to accept the conditions. He said Barak was in the mold of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who Syria claims had made a commitment to give back the lost land.

On Sunday Sept. 5, 1999, Israel will withdraw from 7 percent of the West Bank and release scores of Palestinian security prisoners.

       A week later, on Sept. 10, 1999, negotiators will launch long-overdue talks on a final peace accord. The new deal says that exactly a year later, on Sept. 10, 2000, the two sides must complete the accord, which will address complex issues such as Palestinian statehood, the status of Jerusalem, the fate of Palestinian refugees and the future of Jewish settlements.

 The first troop pullback is set for Sunday, or at most one or two days later if the Israelis need some extra time to prepare, said a Palestinian official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

       Two more withdrawals will take place Nov. 15,1999 and Jan. 20,1999. In all, Israel will transfer 11 percent of the West Bank, about 231 square miles, to the Palestinians between September and January. Israel has pledged to carry out one more withdrawal ahead of a final peace deal, and talks on how much land will be handed over will begin Sept. 10 and be concluded in four months.

 "Syria is with peace, and there will be no peace in the Middle East without Syria," the official Tishrin newspaper reported Saturday. "But Syria will not give up one iota of its soil to please Israeli leaders and their expansionist plans."

Some scripture .....

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the {covenant} with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Dan. 11:6 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an {agreement}: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in [these] times.

Daniel 11:27 And both these kings' hearts [shall be] to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end [shall be] at the time appointed.

28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart [shall be] against the holy {covenant}; and he shall do [exploits], and return to his own land.

29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.

30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.

31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily [sacrifice], and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits].

But The Lord will make a covenant (agreement ) with them which will not be broken.

Hosea 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, [that] thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.

17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.

18 And in that day will I make a {covenant} for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and [with] the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;

22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.

23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to [them which were] not my people, Thou [art] my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God.

Heb. 8:10 For this [is] the {covenant} that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
