PA Calls For Halting Attacks on Civilians
Members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee and the cabinet meeting with President Yasser Arafat, called for a halt on all attacks on Israeli civilians as well as all acts of aggression perpetrated by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) and armed settlers against Palestinian civilians. They said, piously... In a statement issued following the meeting, the leadership further called upon Palestinian national factions to avoid falling into the [Israeli] trap, so that no pretexts are created for Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharons government to further escalate its military aggression against the Palestinian people. They mean, like, kicking Yasser's antique butt clean out of the area... The leadership also urged the international community, particularly the Quartet, to step up efforts to end Israels military occupation of Palestinian cities and towns, to allow the Palestine National Authority (PNA) to carry out its responsibilities on the ground, the statement added. If the PNA had done that, Yasser wouldn't have to call upon the Quartet to do that, would they? In another matter, the leadership called upon the Arab countries to urgently fulfill their financial pledges, which were agreed upon during the last three Arab Leagues Summits held in Cairo, Amman, and Beirut, to support the PNA.
