Palestinian PM designate defends Arafat amid U.S. criticism
Ahmed Qureia, the incoming Palestinian prime minister designate, urged the United States to treat Yasser Arafat as a real partner. He criticized Bush's stance as harmful to peace efforts while Israel presses for a PM role to sideline Arafat. The UN called on Israel to halt threats to expel Arafat. Four Israelis and two Palestinians were wounded in West Bank clashes as Israel bolsters strikes, arguing Palestinian forces fail to dismantle militants.
