Chief of Staff: Arafat Does Not Want a Cease-fire
(Yediot Ahronot)- Smadar Shmueli IDF Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday: "Arafat sent his representatives to the Cairo talks without a mandate." "In my opinion, Arafat is not interested in a general cease-fire. He assumes that the Israeli side will break, and he is prepared for only temporary and local cease-fires." The chief of staff also said the international organizations that supervise the transfer of funds from Israel to the PA are not preventing the leakage of funds to support terror.
