Arafat, however, will not be allowed to leave Ramallah, Israel Radio reported. The decision was passed after 12 of the 14 members of the security cabinet voted in favor and two abstained. The meeting was called after the PNA arrested suspects in the murder of former cabinet minister Rehavam Ze'evi, who was shot dead in a hotel in Jerusalem last October by gunmen from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
