...broke off a meeting with striking union leaders to discuss the decision with Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai. Israel's chief negotiator quickly telephoned Yasser Arafat to assure him of Netanyahu's opposition to the project.

"The Palestinians are as offended as they possibly can be. Everyone, even Netanyahu, is extremely upset today.
