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.
