Communications Minister Ruby Rivlin said today that if Jews cannot live safely in Hevron, neither will Arabs live safely in the Abu Sneineh. Rivlin said, \"With all our desire not to grant Arafat the escalation he so longs for during the Arab League summit [which started today], when a playground becomes the murder site of a ten-month-old baby, diplomatic considerations must take a back seat to the need to protect our citizens\' lives.\" Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told Yesha Council leaders last night that is planning to wait until after the Arab League summit and the Land Day protests this Friday before taking action. He said that the Israeli reaction will be stronger than a closure, and that he will not wait for another terrorist attack before reacting.
