Arafat Vows to Shield Israelis Amid Terrorist Threats
PLO chief Yasser Arafat pledged to protect Israelis from militant Islamic terrorists during talks with Secretary of State Warren Christopher at PLO headquarters. He urged Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza to accept his authority as law to speed elections and push Israel to withdraw forces from Arab villages. Militants have killed 94 Israelis in 14 months since recognition talks began, influencing Rabin's government. The cabinet discussed dismantling settlements that do not boost security, including in Jerusalem.
