Jerusalem Arabs are to vote at five local post offices, where Hadari said several groups will create long lines in order to frustrate Arabs wanting to vote. He criticized other nationalist groups for ignoring his call two weeks ago to use legal means to disturb Sunday's scheduled Palestinian Administration elections for a president to succeed Yasser Arafat.



"I am surprised that although the creation of elections in eastern Jerusalem points to dividing the city de facto, the issue is not on the public agenda and even Knesset Members of the right have given up and surrendered with different excuses," Hadari wrote in a letter to Knesset members.



He also protested to Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski that the city has allowed PA presidential candidates to paste PA propaganda and campaign material on bulletin boards and buildings in the city.



Israeli government officials have said they would allow Jerusalem's Arabs to vote in the elections despite the danger that the PA may use the event as support for demanding that the city, including the Temple Mount, be the capital of a new Arab state.



Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) is the PA Fatah candidate and is expected to win easily. However, Fatah leaders are worried that a boycott of the elections by terrorist organizations will cause a low turnout and reduce Abu Mazen's ability to govern.



After a month of showing increasing militancy to the point of appearing with armed terrorists and saying he would defend them, Abu Mazen toned down his rhetoric the past three days. Hamas terrorists warned Abu Mazen he was putting himself in danger by publicly calling for a halt in missile and mortar shell firing on the Negev and Gaza's Jewish communities.



Terrorists have continued to launch attacks but less than earlier in the week. Israeli defense officials have said they have concrete evidence that terrorists are planning attacks on election day Sunday.
