Egypt: Arafat Get Out By 6/15 Or Else
From WorldNetDaily:
Egypt's intelligence chief has warned Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat to give up power or face possible deportation – or Israeli "removal" – according to a major Arab newspaper.
Meeting with Arafat in Ramallah yesterday, Egyptian Gen. Omar Suleiman demanded that Arafat turn over control of all security forces to Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei, and give Qurei complete authority to conduct negotiations with Israel over Sharon's unilateral disengagement plan, stated the report yesterday in the popular newspaper Al-Quds-al-Arabi.
Arafat reportedly was then told to step aside and allow new leaders to take over the Palestinian Authority.

Let's watch this one develop... Removing Arafat from power without making him a martyr is the key to peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Mark's Remarks
To see an Arab nation like Egypt get involved and tell Arafat to shove off is truly a good first step. Now the key is to see if they follow through or not....However, I love it when Arafat gets portrayed as the lonely, decrepit, morally bankrupt terrorist he really is. I applaud the Egyptians so far for wising up to the truth about this blackhearted old devil.
