Arafat decides not to transfer militants
The Palestinian leadership has abandoned plans to remove some 20 wanted militants from the West Bank town of Ramallah, as demanded by Israel as a condition for ending the isolation of Yasser Arafat. âItâs been decided that they will not be transferred to Jericho or Gaza,â minister of state without portfolio Abdelfatah Hamayel told AFP. Instead the leadership was seeking âinternational guaranteesâ that the detainees, along with the rest of the âhundreds of wanted Palestiniansâ would not be targetted by Israeli attacks, he said.
