Violence shadows Arafat as Gaza turmoil widens
In Gaza Nusseira refugee camp the Akel family mourns Yusuf Akel killed by Palestinian police after student riots. The death triggers calls for justice amid fears of civil war and tests Yasser Arafat’s grip as Hamas and Islamic Jihad warn against concessions while Israel presses incursions and the United States urges cease fire. Arafat seeks stability through arrests and diplomatic pushbacks, hoping to contain dissent and resume talks that could yield independence for Palestinians.
