Israel's Cabinet decided Sunday that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat will not be allowed to travel to Bethlehem for Christmas celebrations, an Israeli government source said. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Cabinet made the decision at its weekly meeting after consulting with the security forces, said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity. Israel's security agencies continue to receive warnings about possible Palestinian attacks from the Bethlehem region, just south of Jerusalem, and removing the troops would make Israel more vulnerable, the source said.
"Piss off. You ain't goin'."
A spokesman for Arafat criticized Israel's decision. ``The Israeli decision ... is a violation of their promises to the American administration, the Vatican and the Pope,'' said spokesman Nabil Abu Rdeneh. ``All the excuses that they give are lies and are rejected.''
