http://www.wtev.com/news/world/story.aspx?content_id=B76F1016-C1CC-48D8-871E-F776113F17F9(Jerusalem-AP) -- Israeli officials are standing up to the United States -- saying they're adamant that Yasser Arafat be removed one way or another from Israeli territory.
This comes as U-S Ambassador Daniel Kurtzer met with Israel's defense minister. Kurtzer says the U-S is "quietly" discussing the matter -- and hasn't changed its position since yesterday, when one official said expelling Arafat would "not be helpful" to peace efforts.
Arafat yesterday defied the Israeli declaration, saying no one would "kick him out." One Israeli Cabinet minister says Israel "doesn't take orders" from Washington.
