TEHRAN The Zionist regime and officials of the Palestinian Authority (PA) wrapped up a meeting Wednesday with CIA Director George Tenet to discuss implementation of his cease-fire plan, AFP reported.

During the meeting, which lasted for some four hours in Tel Aviv, Tenet secured agreements from Israel and the Palestinians on the "work plan" after five days of intensive talks to secure a truce following cease-fire declared independently by the two sides.

"This meeting is the beginning of the implementation of the security work plan," a U.S. official said before the talks started.

But the Palestinians said they still reject certain clauses in the proposal and vowed they would not sign the Tenet plan without a full agreement on the wider Mitchell report on ending the conflict with Israel.

However, Palestinian groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad vowed Wednesday to continue their armed struggle against Israel despite a U.S.-brokered cease-fire deal accepted by the Palestinian Authority.

"Armed action will continue. It is not a matter that depends on the military branch of Hamas," said Ismail Abu Shanab, a Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip.

"Whatever the pressures exercised by the Palestinian Authority, the intifada will continue because the occupation and the settlers remain," said Shanab.

"Islamic Jihad will likewise reject the Tenet plan, which constitutes an American plot to abort the intifada," member Mohammed Hindi told AFP.

"The Tenet plan cannot succeed. There will only be a lull for a few weeks, but a new explosion will follow on the ground," said Hindi.

But the Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials vowed their groups will not engage in a battle with the Palestinian Authority, which has given its conditional acceptance to the Tenet plan.

Meanwhile, the Zionist print media during the past few days expressed different views on the martyrdom-seeking operation conducted by a young Palestinian militant in Tel Aviv last Friday.

The daily ***Haaretz*** in an article entitled "Israel Agrees to End Construction of Settlements" said that the Tel Aviv operation caused the cancellation of the Israeli Army's wide-scale operations in the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority.

Another article entitled "Tel Aviv Operation Delays Israeli Attack", which was also published by the above daily, stressed that "what delayed the Israeli Army's attack against the self-rule areas was the martyrdom-seeking operation in Tel Aviv, not the acceptance of cease-fire by Yasser Arafat."

The daily ***Jerusalem Post *** wrote that Israel's decision to exercise self-restraint and avoid taking military action against Palestinians was a sound decision in line with Israel's propaganda campaign.
