``Can we implement the second stage of the Wye accord? Regrettably no. Because the Palestinians did not do their part,'' Yoav Biran, who is in charge of the peace process at the Israeli foreign ministry, told New York Times yesterday.

``They (the Palestinians) have failed to outlaw terrorist organizations. They have not done enough to collect illegal arms, reduce force of their police and to mount a serious fight against terrorism,'' Biran said accusing the Palestinian authority of failing to honour the Wye accord.

``Whenever information is forwarded on impending attacks on Israelis, the Palestinian authorities do something, but, not enough is done to remove the terrorist infrastructure,'' he charged.

Under the Octoberaccord, negotiated under US auspices, Israel was supposed to have given back another five per cent of West Bank, seized from Jordan in the 1967 war, to the Palestinians by now.

Tel Aviv, has already handed over two per cent of West Bank to the Palestinian authority and allowed opening of the Gaza airport under the first phase of the deal.

In a related development, the Israeli government has in an announcement in Jerusalem rejected a call by the UNGA for an international conference on April 8 in Geneva to discuss Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

The call for the conference was given by 20 Arab Nations and some non-aligned nations under the fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 which bars settlements in occupied territories.
