Arafat warns opponents to stop killing Israelis

Israeli security forces sealed off the Gaza Strip and the West Bank for ten days during Easter and Passover. Palestinians were forced to stay at home and could not go to work in Israel. In Nablus on Good Friday (14/4), Palestinian youths clashed with Israeli soldiers. They threw stones and the soldiers retaliated with tear gas. In Gaza City, PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat warned that despite conciliatory contacts between the Palestinian Authority and Islamic opposition groups, there would be no truce unless all the Palestinian factions respected the self-rule agreement signed between the PLO and Israel. Last week, two
suicide bombings against Israeli targets in the Gaza Strip killed seven Israeli soldiers and an American woman. Such violence, said Arafat, violated peace commitments with Israel and would not be accepted. Opposition leaders said that they would not soften their opposition to the agreement.
