Actually he may have asked to see a Christian at the end and ask to hear the Gospel. According to a source he did even though his people tried hard from keeping him from doing so. Whether or not he recieved Christ I do not know.

It was this guy...http://www.leadingtheway.org/


During our time here we met with Palestinian President Yasser Arafat (view photo), and the heads of the Orthodox churches (Syrian, Greek, and Coptic). We also enjoyed visits with Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger of Israel (view photo) and Gadi Golan, Israel 's Minister of Foreign Affairs (view photo).

As we prepared for our meeting with President Arafat, we prayed together and read from Matthew 10:19-20, "... Do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you."

President Arafat's compound in Ramallah (in the West Bank ) is a myriad of rubble, twisted metal, and destroyed vehicles. It was a poignant reminder of the violence in that region. Inside the compound, we found Arafat sitting behind a simple chair and desk. He jumped up to greet us with handshakes and the traditional Arab kiss.
