The Israeli government has given the green light for a meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, a government source said Wednesday, after eight people were killed in the latest Palestinian terror attack. The Powell-Arafat meeting will take place Saturday at Arafat's compound in Ramallah on the West Bank, where the Palestinian leader has been holed up for nearly two weeks.
Bad move. The meeting should have evaporated when the bus went. |
