IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Sha’ul Mofaz made today some of the strongest accusations against Yasser Arafat to date. Speaking to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Mofaz said that Arafat did not just give a \"green light\" to terrorism, but was the very initiator of many attacks. Arutz-7\'s Haggai Seri reports that Arafat convened, in February 2000, the leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and told them to commit terrorist attacks within pre-1967 Israel with the purpose of getting Israel to \"surrender.\" Later, he gave a similar order to Tanzim (Fatah militia) heads.
