Fenced-In Arafat Finds Few Allies Outside
(Los Angeles Times) - Ghassan Khatib, the Palestinian labor minister, who spent the first day of the siege in the compound with Arafat and had kept in close touch with him by telephone since, said he saw little evidence of strong global support. He said that Arafat was damaged by President Bush's call earlier this year for a change in the Palestinian leadership and that the international community is too focused on Iraq to pay attention to the Israeli-Palestinian issue now.
