Jerusalem, 23 December 2001
Security Cabinet bars Arafat from leaving for Bethlehem
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
The Ministerial Committee on National Security Affairs (i.e. the
Security Cabinet), yesterday evening (Saturday), December 22, 2001,
decided - in a telephone vote among its members - not to allow
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat to leave for Bethlehem.
This decision was taken against the background of the fact that
Chairman Arafat is neither acting to disband the Palestinian
terrorist organizations, nor foil acts of terrorism against Israel
from PA territory, nor detain and punish terrorists, including the
late Minister Rechavam Ze'evy's assassins, as well as those who
dispatched them.
