Ben-Eliezer: Only 10 wanted terrorists arrested by PA Ben-Eliezer said earlier Sunday at a cabinet meeting held in the West Bank that there was a discrepancy between the number of militants Arafat claims to have arrested, and the number known to security sources. According to the defense minister, only 10 of the 33 activists on a list given to the PA by Israel have been arrested. In an interview to Channel One Television on Friday, Arafat said that he had arrested 17 militants. Ben-Eliezer said that the arrests were not the only problem, but that there was also a problem regarding the way the PA interrogated the militants. "It [the interrogations] is non-existent," he said. Sharon also asked how Sha'ath had received permission to attend the Brussels meeting, after the government decided that senior PA officials would have their VIP status (which enables them to travel freely) removed. Ben-Eliezer replied that the officials could still leave the country as "regular" citizens residing the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Peres said that Sha'ath was invited to the meeting, as he had been, and recommended that Israel "not prevent him from leaving." However, the prime minister replied, "Sha'ath should be busy fighting terror. He has a job here."
