In his first diplomatic act with the United States, Israel's closest ally, Barak reproached Clinton for having said Thursday he would like Palestinian refugees to be free to live wherever they like. ''President Clinton's stance on the matter of the right of return, as it might be understood from his remarks yesterday in Washington, is unacceptable to Barak,'' said Barak's spokeswoman Merav Parsi-Tzadok. ''It's apparently a misunderstanding, and it would have been appropriate for the administration to clarify and correct it.'' The U.S. Embassy in Israel later issued a statement saying that Washington had not changed its position on the contentious refugee issue. ''The issue of Palestinian refugees is a matter that has been reserved for permanent status negotiations and that, like all permanent status issues, needs to be dealt with and resolved by the parties themselves,'' the statement said. Israeli politicians across the political spectrum assailed Clinton for any suggestion that Palestinians might return to the homes they left with Israel's creation in 1948 and that are part of Israel today. infoseek.go.com
