Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Advisor Jerusalem, 10 May 1999 Closure Orders for Orient House   Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, together with Foreign Minister Ariel Sharon, Defense Minister Moshe Arens and Public Security Minister Avigdor Kahalani, decided this afternoon (Monday), 10.5.99, to issue orders for the closure of three Palestinian Authority offices in the Orient House. The decision was made after all required legal processes were exhausted -- including the conduct of an extended and thorough hearing for Orient House representatives. The Prime Minister's Bureau wishes to emphasize that, this morning, the Prime Minister even dispatched a personal envoy to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat in order to clarify the serious nature of the Palestinian violations in question and to reiterate Israel's 1996 demand that Arafat uphold his Oslo Accord commitment to close the Orient House offices.
