 PM SHARON: ARAFAT WILL NOT BE BURIED IN JERUSALEM
"As long as I'm here - and I'm not planning to leave any time soon - Arafat will not be buried in Jerusalem."  So said Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at today's Cabinet meeting.

Sharon had been discussing the government's benevolent attitude towards Arafat ever since the latter became ill, and said that the decision was made to come towards Arafat in everything having to do with his medical condition.  "This improved our international position," he said, adding that the decision to allow him to leave Israel necessarily involved consent to his return as well.  In response to a question by Justice Minister Yosef Lapid, Sharon then stated clearly that this applies only if Arafat does not die.

Several right-wing MKs had said last week that Arafat must not be buried in Jerusalem.  MK Uri Ariel even said that "tens of thousands" of people would bodily prevent such a burial.

Prime Minister Sharon also said that if Arafat ceases to be in control of the Palestinian Authority, "this might very well be a good opportunity to coordinate and negotiate with whatever leadership arises after him.  Only if they change their policies, however, and prove it with facts on the ground, will there be room for us to change our policy.  The test will be in actions, not declarations."

 ARAFAT'S CONDITION UNCLEAR
Rumors continue to abound as to Yasser Arafat's true condition.  CNN reported that he has leukemia, others say he has a virus, and still others have raised different possibilities.  A London Arabic-language newspaper reported that doctors are investigating the possibility that Arafat may have been poisoned. Most reports agree that he will never be able to return to day-to-day control of the Palestinian Authority.

Arafat is said to be directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Israeli citizens, untold numbers of Arabs and more than 100 U.S. citizens, including two U.S. diplomats.  Ariel Sharon said in 1995, "I don't know anyone other than Arafat who has as much civilian Jewish blood on his hands since the time of the Nazis."  Binyamin Netanyahu, who wrote a book on how to fight terrorism, has attributed the phenomenon of "terrorist plane hijackings" to Arafat and his Fatah organization in the late 1960's, after which, Netanyahu said, "it very quickly became an international plague."

Arafat is hospitalized in a Paris hospital, where he is expected to remain for several weeks or until he dies.  In the meanwhile, Abu Mazen yesterday chaired the first PLO meeting ever not to be run by Arafat, and he will apparently assume control over much of the PLO and Fatah functions.  Abu Ala, the current PA prime minister, will manage the PA and its security organs.  Arafat has not appointed a successor, and many expect that filling the vacuum will involve much internal PA violence.
