PARIS (AFP): Israel may compete against Palestine and Arab
countries at the Mediterranean Games at Bari, Italy, in 1997.

Claude Collard, president of the Med Games Committee, said
here Tuesday before leaving for an Executive Commission meeting
in Bari he expected to be able to obtain majority approval for
Palestine and Israel being admitted.

"But we quite clearly wish to avoid the threat of a boycott by
countries who may be hostile at this moment," he added. Collard
intends to meet delegates from Syria, Libya and Lebanon to make
sure they would abide by a majority decision.
