- Story Text: INTRO: Palestinian President Yasser Arafat has condemned the fatal shooting of a Palestinian worker by a Jewish farmer but has not directly condemned the killing of two Jewish settlers by Arab gunmen a day earlier.
Arafat called for justice over the killing by an Israeli farmer of a Palestinian worker he suspected was trying to break into his house in southern Israel before dawn on Thursday (December 12).
"This is a big crime against our workers who went to earn a living," Arafat said in Gaza adding: "I'm sorry to say that the Israeli reaction against this criminal act is a negative reaction." "They (Israel) have not shown any seriousness in uprooting the terrorism against our workers and citizens," Arafat said.
"If the Israeli government doesn't take the necessary measures our workers will be in danger and we will take the necessary measures to confront such matters," he added but did not elaborate.
"We condemn the killing of innocents wherever they are and whoever they are," Arafat said, an apparent reference to a Jewish settler woman and her 12-year-old son killed by Arab guerrillas near self-ruled Ramallah on Wednesday.
