"Why go to Camp David?" PFLP asks Arafat.

In Damascus the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine has warned Yasir Arafat against
giving up his people's rights during the summit meeting with US President Bill Clinton and
Zionist Prime Minister Ehud Barak, set for Tuesday, 11 July 2000, at Camp David in the United
States.

The Deputy General Secretary of the PFLP, Abu Ali Mustafa, said that the Israeli government had not given any indication or sign that it would accept United Nations Security Council resolutions. Mustafa added that Barak has declared his "no"s -- No to a Palestinian declaration of statehood, No to the return of the Palestinian Refugees, No to eastern Jerusalem as a capital of the Palestinians, and No to removing the Jewish settlements. The PFLP Deputy General Secretary wondered for what reason Arafat had agreed to go to Camp David and added that he saw no justification for Arafat's going to the conference. -- "as-Safir" daily, Beirut, 8 July 2000.
