JERUSALEM (JTA) — The killing of at least 40 Palestinians by a Jewish settler last Friday has sparked continued unrest here and has left Israeli officials pessimistic about the future course of negotiations with their Arab neighbors. On Monday, the fourth consecutive day of widespread unrest in the territories and throughout Israel following the killings in Hebron, two Palestinians were killed during violent confrontations with the Israel Defense Force. On the diplomatic front, Israeli officials reacted glumly to the not-unexpected news that Syria, Lebanon and Jordan had decided to suspend the bilateral negotiations in Washington. In Jerusalem, the Knesset united behind a resolution condemning Friday's murders. It marked the first time that all parties in the 13th Knesset, left- and right-wing parties alike,_^ agreed on the text of a resolution. '^M Following the government's announcement that^* a special board of inquiry would be set up to investigate the massacre, the president of the Supreme Court, Justice Meir Shamgar, announced Monday that he would personally chair the commission. Despite a curfew still in force over the city, rioting took place Monday in Hebron. One man was killed by the IDF near the Tomb of the Patriarchs, where Dr. Baruch Goldstein raked hundreds of Muslim worshippers with automatic rifle fire last Friday. Arafat has termed inadequate a series of measures imposed Sunday by the Israeli government to crack down on Jewish extremists. He has also called for the complete removal of all settlements and for the presence of U.N. forces in the territories as prerequisites for the resumption of talks with Israel. Last week, only two days before the mass murders in Hebron, optimistic announcements were issuing from Jerusalem and Cairo.
