Cairo, Oct 05: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak warned today that Israeli retaliatory action against Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat "will not serve the cause of peace in any way."
"The premeditated escalation against the elected
Palestinian president will not serve the cause of peace in
any way," Mubarak said in a televised speech on the occasion
of the 30th anniversary of the 1973 war against Israel.
A suicide bombing of a restaurant in the Israeli port city of Haifa yesterday prompted renewed calls in Israel for Arafat's "removal." The blast killed at least 19 people, as well as the female bomber.
