Mixed reaction from the Arab side:

Reversing his initial lukewarm initial response, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat sent a message to the Geneva gathering warmly praising the virtual treaty, calling it ``a brave initiative that opens the door to peace.''


However, militant Palestinian groups denounced the accord and called the Palestinian negotiators ``traitors,'' objecting to concessions over the return of refugees to their original homes in Israel.


In reaction from the Arab world, the newspaper ``Oman'' praised the accord. In an editorial, the paper described it as the first true Palestinian or Arab document that gives a comprehensive vision for a solution to all the issues and paves the way for a Palestinian state.
