Arafat pushes peace as donors back aid pledge drive
At a one day conference on aid for the West Bank and Gaza, Yasser Arafat urged U S cooperation with Israel to secure peace and oversee commitments. The United States plans a 400 million boost, with 500 million more over five years, while other nations seek to bolster regional development and Palestinian statehood next year. Netanyahu warned of possible withdrawal if the Palestinians unilaterally declare a state, as Arafat aims for independence with Jerusalem as its capital.
