The Council of Jewish Communities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (Yesha Council) on Wednesday rejected a Foreign Ministry request to hire bulletproof buses from Yesha in order to transport participants to and from Yasser Arafat's funeral in Ramallah.The funeral is expected to take place Friday after a ceremony in Cairo.
The heads of settler council scoffed at the Foreign Ministry's request, saying, "We are not ready to honor an abominable murder[er] who spilled the blood of many Jews."
