Arab MKs Barakeh, Mahoul, Asana, and Tibi will meet with Arafat this afternoon in Ramallah. The meeting was supposed to have been held several days ago, but the security forces did not permit the MKs to enter PA areas. Barakeh said today that he regrets the deaths in Elei Sinai last night, \"but Elei Sinai is one of the cruelest manifestations of the conquest, and the settlers are committing a crime when they bring their children to stand on the front.\" Elei Sinai is on the northernmost tip of the Gaza Strip.
