No immunity for Arafat, says Israel
The top Israeli minister who said it would be an option for Yasser Arafat to be killed insisted Saturday that the Palestinian leader should not have âimmunityâ from reprisals.

Amidst international controversy over Israelâs threat to expel Arafat from his West Bank base, Ehud Olmert, Israelâs deputy prime minister and trade minister, told a Washington conference on the Middle East that Arafat was âresponsible for terrorâ and should be accountable for his actions. Prime Minister-designate Ahmed Qurei called for Palestinians to demonstrate a united front Sunday after talks in the Gaza Strip with faction leaders and members of Arafatâs Fatah movement. Qorei, who is also known as Abu Ala, met representatives from the high committee of national and Islamic forces, a body which includes the hardline Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements, Palestinian sources said.
