Israel and Egypt said that after three days of talks, they have narrowed their differences but have failed to end their territorial dispute over a small strip of beach claimed by both countries. Taba, a four-acre strip of land in the Sinai Peninsula, is now the site of an Israeli resort. The talks attempted to decide on interim security arrangements pending settlement of the larger issue of sovereignty, but there was no accord on a role for the multinational peacekeeping force that is stationed elsewhere in the Sinai. The two sides will meet again, negotiators said, but no date has been set.
