Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Arafat to Meet with Clinton to Discuss Peace Plan

HeadlineJan 02, 2001

Palestinian President Yasser Arafat left the Gaza Strip last night for surprise talks with President Clinton on the U.S. peace proposal that’s drawn strong Palestinian reservations. In the proposal, the Palestinians will get a state in 95 percent of the West Bank and all of Gaza and partial control over a contested holy site in East Jerusalem. In exchange, the Palestinians would drop their demand for right of return for Palestinian refugees who were driven out of Israel when it was founded in 1948. Arafat agreed last night to meet with Clinton in order to hear clarifications on the proposal.
