Israel to look into Arafat murder ad
By SAUD ABU RAMADAN
GAZA, July 23 (UPI) -- Israel's attorney general on Monday said he would
consider opening a criminal investigation into an advertisement that urged
anyone who had the opportunity to murder Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat,
the Haaretz newspaper reported.
The paper said that a leader of a group called Zo Artzeinu, Moshe Feiglin,
and three movement colleagues signed the advertisement, published in the
Makor Rishon newspaper by the right-wing group.
The ad called on any Israeli to "point your rifle at his (Arafat's) plane
when it flies over the Jewish settlement..." The ad also urged members of
the Israeli secret service to "open fire immediately at Arafat's convoy
whenever driving in the streets of Gaza and the West Bank."
Legal officials said they doubted indictments could actually be submitted
against either the Zo Artzeinu members or Makor Rishon's editors. Since a
tougher anti-incitement law was recently defeated in the Knesset, said the
paper, prosecutors lack the legal tools needed to indict the sponsors of
the anti-Arafat message.
But Member of Knesset Ran Cohen from Meretz Party urged Israel Attorney
General Elyakim Rubinstein to charge both the Zo Artzeinu members and Makor
Rishon's editors.
Rubinstein also ordered the Israeli army, the police and the Shin Bet
security service to take firm, uncompromising action against "extremist
Jewish settlers who harm innocent Arab civilians."
Meanwhile, Rubinstein reportedly convened a secret meeting last week with
top security officials to consider ways of clamping down on vigilante
actions that harm Palestinian civilians, including women and children, said
the paper. Officials at the meeting considered various legal steps against
extremists, particularly in the Hebron area, such as banning their entry to
flashpoints on the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Ha'aretz said that no decision had been reached regarding the imposition
of such restraining orders on Jewish militants.
