Meets Arafat, visits Yad Vashem and an Israeli school
PLO leader Yasser Arafat promised in Jericho on Friday (24/3) to wage a new campaign against terrorism. He made the pledge after holding talks with U.S. vice president Al Gore, who responded by saying the commitment was an important step towards Middle East peace. Gore said Arafat had made it clear he would proceed with the criminal prosecution of "those who are suspected of terrorist activities." Arafat said he would set up new state security courts. The U.S. Vice President announced an aid package for the Gaza Strip and said President Clinton had also authorised Palestinians to export a range of goods to the United States. Before visiting Jericho, U.S. Vice President Al Gore visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. At Yad Vashem, Gore saw a memorial to the 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis and expressed horror at the scope of the genocide. While in Jerusalem, Gore and Israeli Environment Minister Yossi Sarid Micha Goldman signed the "GLOBE" bilateral agreement, which links the ecological findings of Israeli students by computer to those of their
counterparts all over the world. The signing took place at Jerusalem's Zief school.
