(14 Dec 1997) T/I: 10:56:15 • • • The controversial leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan arrived in Gaza City for a meeting with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat after travelling through Israel from his surprise visit to the West Bank on Sunday (14/12). Farrakhan's stops in the West Bank and Gaza are part of a marathon three month, 52 nation world tour. While the black leader was welcomed in Palestinian lands, he was rebuffed by the Israeli's where there has been cries to expell him for his remarks perceived as being anti-Semetic. The US black Moslem leader said he bore no grudges against the Jews and claimed he was there to help break the deadlocked peace process, but Israel has warned him that it will boycott his visit if he did not retract the statements. • • SHOWS: • • JERUSALEM, ISRAEL. 14/12 • Exterior Prine Minister's office; • Interior presser by David Bar-Ilan; • SOT David Bar-Ilan (in English) We don't limit entry to this country because of views and Mr Farrakhan like everybody else has a right to be here. He asked for an official status and whether or not that will be granted him is being discussed today. A conclusion will probably be arrived at this evening and I doubt very much that official status will be granted ; • • GAZA 14/12 • Night shots Farrakhan arriving at Yasser Arafat's office; • Farrakhan greeted • VS photo-opportunity between Farrakhan and Arafat; • Palestinian police outside Arafat's office. • • 1.29 • • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
