Tel Aviv (JTA) — Yassir Arafat
had been scheduled to make a
ceremonial arrival in the West
Bank town of Jericho, the seat of
the new Palestinian provisional
government.
But the day came and went
with no sign of the Palestine lib-
eration Organization leader, and
PLO officials now say the long-
awaited arrival may not take
place until the end of June or the
beginning of July.
Mr. Arafat reportedly had or-
dered the closing of all PLO of-
fices in Tunis by June 15. But
there were no signs this week
> that the Tunis offices were actu-
ally closing.
Israeli officials meanwhile are
completing their preparations for
Mr. Arafat's arrival, which has
met with calls for protests from
Israeli political, religious and set-
tlers groups.
These members of a highly vo-
cal opposition are threatening to
block all Israeli roads along which
Arafat may pass when he travels
from Jericho to the Gaza Strip,
the two areas which last month
came under Palestinian autono-
my.
The Israeli defense establish-
ment reportedly is arranging for
the call-up of a maximum num-

created by Mandell and Madeleine Berman
