Arafat Tells Envoy Abbas is "Betraying Palestinian Interests"
(Ha'aretz) - Arnon Regular, Amos Harel, and Aluf Benn Yasser Arafat on Thursday accused Prime Minister Mahmud Abbas of "betraying the interests of the Palestinian people." Arafat reportedly told UN envoy Terje Larsen, "How does he dare to stand next to an Israeli flag and next to Sharon and to act friendly?" Most senior Fatah activists support Arafat against Abbas, but the prime minister also has supporters, and the fight is causing a serious rift within Fatah, Palestinian sources said.
