Syria Improving Relations with Arafat
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - The Syrian government has agreed to reopen Fatah offices in Damascus that have been closed since 1985. In another sign of rapprochement between Assad and Arafat, Syrian authorities permitted Fatah supporters to hold a rally at the Yarmouk refugee camp in solidarity with the PA chairman. It was the first time in more than 20 years that Arafat's supporters in Syria were allowed to demonstrate and carry his picture in public. The event was covered by state-run Syrian television.
