Palestinian official calls for coexistence between the Israelis, the Palestinians

Member of the central committee of the Fatah Movement, Hani al-Hassan, has called from the headquarters of the chairman of the Palestinian Authority Yasser Arafat, who is besieged in Ramullah, for co existence between the Palestinians and the Israelis.

In a message he addressed to the Israelis via the Israeli radio, Arafat's political advisor said "we want to live side by side with the Israelis in all walks of life and to exchange peace and security."

Al- Hassan, who is besieged with Arafat, together with some 250 of his men in one of the buildings of the headquarters of the chairman of the Palestinian Authority in Ramullah which was not destroyed by the Israeli occupation forces yet because of the international pressure, added "they have destroyed every thing. There is nothing left to be destroyed."
