Independence
Jerusalem/JTA — Israel celebrated its
54th Independence Day under heavy
security for possible terror attacks.

Jerusalem and air force flights over
various parts of the country.
PLO To Get
D.C. Office?
Washington/JTA — President Bush
waived for six months a law blocking the
PLO from having a Washington office.
The waiver has been enacted twice a
year since 1994, after the signing of
the Oslo peace accords. Bush said in a
memo that "it is important to the
national security interests of the
United States" to have a PLO office in
Washington.
Sharon Criticizes
E.U. Position
Jerusalem/JTA — Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon lashed out at European
leaders for their position in the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict.
In an interview with Army Radio,
Sharon said European leaders "have
shown interest in the toilet paper"
supply to Palestinian Authority leader
Yasser Arafat, but they "did not bother
to call me to express condolences to
Israel after the horrible attacks that
were here." Sharon linked their behav-
ior to Europe's silence during the
Holocaust.
