ARABS-ISRAEL - July 22 - PA Seeks Arrest Of Israeli Ministers.
PA Minister Hassan Asfour tells Voice of Palestine Radio: "I
demand that Rehavem Zeevi and Avigdor Lieberman are detained and
interrogated for their role in the killing of three Palestinians by
settlers. They planned the attack, they met with radical settlers in
Hebron two days before the killing, they are involved in organising
terrorist groups". (He refers to the killing of three Palestinians,
including a 3-month-old baby, on July 19 - see last week's
Recorder. Israeli Tourism Minister Zeevi and Infrastructure Minister
Lieberman advocate a harsh line against the PA. Lieberman has in recent
weeks called for the liquidation of Palestinian "terrorists"
and the destruction of the PA. FM Peres condemned the killing as
"horrifying and abominable. These people brought shame to the
Jewish people and disaster to Israel. They are cowards and if they had a
drop of self-respect, they would go to the nearest police station and
turn themselves in"). PA intelligence chief Amin Al Hindi tells
Voice of Palestine: "I will hand over information and names of the
killers to the Israeli side when we meet Wednesday (July 25) and we will
provide the Americans with full information on the individuals and
groups involved in the attack".
