palestine say they blame israel squarely for poisoning and killing yasser arafat and said they are they ones that had the means and cutting edge technology and the motive to poison and kill arafat because israel was in complete control of the presidential headquarters, the compound where arafat was staying and was surrounding it with tanks and was controlling who was going in and out of that compound. according to palestinian officials it definitely had a role in facilitating the rare substance into the compound they say. what they can do next is a political decision that needs to be made at the highest level. now, as you know palestine is a nonmember state at the united nations and has a right to apply for international at the criminal court at the hague to take matters where there is a breach by israel of international law. however, the palestinian authority promised the united states not to go to icc for membership yet until they give negotiations with the israelis a chance and the palestinians and israelis are engaged in a nine-month period of negotiations which end next april and
