Israel allows doctors to visit arafat { October 24 2004 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/24/international/middleeast/24arafat.html http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/24/international/middleeast/24arafat.html October 24, 2004 Israel Allows Doctors to Visit Arafat By GREG MYRE JERUSALEM, Oct. 23 - A team of Tunisian doctors has been granted permission to examine Yasir Arafat, who has been suffering from the flu, an Israeli official said Saturday. Mr. Arafat's aides have said that he is recovering from fever, nausea and a stuffy nose, but is well enough to observe the dawn-to-dusk fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Still, Tunisia asked if it could send the doctors after speaking with Palestinian officials, and Israel granted the request, said an official in Israel's Foreign Ministry. Israel has confined Mr. Arafat, the Palestinian leader, to his badly damaged compound in Ramallah on the West Bank for most of the last three years. Dr. Ahmed Tibi, an Arab physician who is a member of Israel's Parliament and is close to Mr. Arafat, told Israel radio that he "was struck by the flu recently, but is better." Mr. Arafat, 75, has generally been in good health. His lips and hands tremble, a possible sign of Parkinson's disease. However, the condition has not noticeably worsened in the last few years. In a separate development on Saturday, the Islamic militant group Hamas said it had killed a Palestinian man, Hassan Musalam, who was suspected of passing on information that helped Israel track down and kill several Hamas members, including the group's founder, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, who died in a March airstrike. Mr. Musalam's bullet-riddled body was found in Gaza City with a note saying he had collaborated with Israel in the killing of Sheik Yassin and nine other Palestinians. Palestinian factions have killed dozens of people suspected of being informants and collaborators in the last four years of Israeli-Palestinian fighting. Copyright 2004 The New York Times Company |
