Arafat says he has ordered ceasefire
Yasser Arafat has issued clear instructions to Palestinian security and police forces to cease fire with the Israeli army.
The message comes as part of greetings he sent to Israelis for the Jewish New Year, which begins at sundown.
Mr Arafat says he is using this opportunity to tell the Israeli people that the Palestinians believe in politician solutions for all outstanding problems.
The Palestinian leader said: "I hope that the Israeli government will reply to this message of peace and to take the decision to cease fire, too."
He reiterated that he is willing to meet Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres in order to implement all "agreements and understandings we have signed for the sake of our children and your children".
Israel's Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, has said he will only permit high-level contacts with the Palestinians after 48 hours of complete calm.

Yasser Arafat has issued clear instructions to Palestinian security and police forces to cease fire with the Israeli army. Too late.
From the man who never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

I thought he said he was not responsible for the attacks on Isralei soldiers and civilians. If he was telling the truth, how can he order a ceasefire now?

When a horrible tragedy occurs, Arafat always claims he cannot control the terrorists. Now he's declaring a cease-fire??? I thought he could control his own people. This man is a Clintonian PR stooge. He's an empty bathrobe.

Yasser Arafat has issued clear instructions to Palestinian security and police forces to cease fire....
And he claimed heretofore that he didn't control these people... turns out it was his forces at war with Israel all along.
Too late, the world's super cop is no longer preocuppied with the Pasestinian Authority or Yasser Arafat - it has other pressing engagements to attend; and as such, Yasser is going to get his terrorist operation cleaned out just like other terrorists in countless other countries under the coalation war effort.

The fact that he is issuing a cease-fire means he gave an attack order sometime in the past, which he has denied.
To: surfer
Now we get to see if "leader" Arafat actually controls the people he claims to speak for.
To: surfer
"I hope that the Israeli government will reply to this message of peace and to take the decision to cease fire, too." Too late! While we are at it get rid of him also.

If he was telling the truth, how can he order a ceasefire now? That gesture will be enough for the morons in
the press corp, to denounce Israel.

Arafat can't even control his bowel movements any more. He is senile and will soon be replaced by some other Pallie psycho killer

It amazes me that after months of saying, "Well, I can't control every Palestinian citizen from attacking Israel." Suddenly he has complete control to stop the attacks & try for a peaceful solution. I don't buy it, either he was lying then or he's lying now or both. AraFart is a no good greasy little slime ball that realizes that his cause is in deep $hit now that the American Govt. has got their own problems. Leaving Israel to go ahead and take care of their own little Terrorist Regime. All the sudden AraFart wants peace & Political solutions to the conflict there, Well he should have thought about that months ago. Israel go kick their @ss!

Please pray for Israel during this High-Holy week.

Yasser "Thats my Baby" Arafat is a toad. If the cease fire holds then all will know that he has been lying all along about his inability to control the street thugs who attack Israelis daily. He has made his bed, let him sleep in it.

An appropriate response is one which lights up the towel on his head. He and his band of terrorists have had plenty of time for a cease fire. A deal last year gave him 90% of what he wanted. That wasn't good enough. He would rather send young men to their deaths in Pizza restaurants.
The game is up. Checkmate, you murdering terrorist pig.
To: surfer
Who is he kidding! This snake is very dangerous, he needs to be put out to pasture, indefinitely! Arafat=evil-doer!
