On Barak's decision to halt the peace process
The al-Quds paper issued in the occupied Arab territories said on Monday quoting the Israeli daily Yadhout Ahronout said that Barak's decision to temporarily halt the peace process was based on a secret report submitted by the chairman of the CIA George Tenet to the US President Bill Clinton and reached Barak later. The paper added that according to this report, Yasser Arafat had decided to pave the way for the establishing of the Palestinian state through confrontation with Israel and giving up the march of negotiations.
