During the meeting with the Likud's parliament members, Sharonalso unveiled a plan against the Palestinian National Authority(PNA) and extremist Palestinian organizations, which was schemed byIsraeli security establishments.

Hours before the meeting, Sharon set a 12-hour deadline for PNAChairman Yasser Arafat to arrest "terrorist figures" in thePalestinian-controlled West Bank and Gaza Strip, followingconsultations with Foreign Minister Shimon Peres.

The PNA, however, rejected the deadline, stressing that Israelmust immediately implement the Mitchell report recommendations andthe Tenet plan.
