Israel slammed Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's speech to the Arab summit in Cairo on Saturday as a collection of "baseless, provocative allegations" against the Jewish state.
"Yasser Arafat's speech was very extreme with baseless, provocative allegations towards Israel," government spokesman Nachman Shai told a press briefing.
"He raised some doubts about the readiness of the Palestinian leadership to take action in order to stop the violence. It looks now very clear that Arafat is not going to implement the Sharm el-Sheikh (truce) agreement" -- JERUSALEM (AFP)
