Condemn the Arafat-Mubarak
Meeting!
Palestinian Response
Below are samples of the initial
Palestinian response to Yasir
Arafat’s Dec. 22nd meeting
with Husni Mubarak:
From Occupied
Palestine
Ahmad Shawki,
mayor of Jenin
“We must adhere to the main
objective, the liberation of our land
and our legitimate rights in an
independent state. Any action that
contradicts this objective and violates
the PNC’s decisions is unacceptable...
Our people, while affirming
commitment to national unity and the
legitimate institutions of the PLO,

Cairo and his meeting with Mubarak,

head of the Palestinian Red Crescent
in Gaza
“It definitely brings sorrow and
discontent for it departs from the PNC
resolutions and the principled position
of the PLO and the Palestinian people,
which stresses non-cooperation with
