The Israeli daily Maariv said US envoy Anthony Zinni dubbed the Palestinian Authority "the mafia" and its leader Yasser Arafat "the Godfather" at a private dinner in Washington over the weekend.

The mediator reportedly said that in his view there was no chance of reaching a political settlement with Arafat, whom another daily, Yediot Aharonot, said Zinni had branded an "incorrigible liar."

According to the Hebrew-language Maariv, Zinni, an Italian American, called Arafat the "capo di tutti capi", Italian for the head of all mafia leaders, in remarks to the AIPAC Israeli lobby in Washington.
