Apparently they also discussed Arafat's condition, which I guess overnight has deteriorated. The Prime Minister immediately gave his response and said there would be no restrictions whatsoever, that Israel would provide any assistance it can in order to ensure that proper medical teams coming from Jordan and Egypt will be able to visit the muqata and treat Mr Arafat. Any medical equipment that is necessary can be brought without hindrance and if Arafat needs medical treatment outside let's say in hospital in Ramallah or if the doctors recommend that he be transferred to hospitalisation abroad in any medical facility, Israel will not impose any restrictions.\"\u003cbr/\u003eRamallah, West Bank\u003cbr/\u003e7.

Wide of border crossing\u003cbr/\u003ePalestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia left Yasser Arafat's Ramallah compound on Thursday morning, where the Palestinian leader's condition remained serious.\u003cbr/\u003eQureia denied reports that a command committee had been set up and said Arafat was well and that he would \"resume his duties shortly\". \u003cbr/\u003eOne Palestinian official said earlier that Arafat had created a special committee consisting of Qureia, former Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, and Salim Zaanoun, head of the Palestinian National Council, to run the PLO and the Palestinian Authority while he is ill.\u003cbr/\u003ePalestinian cabinet minister Saeb Erekat also dismissed earlier rumours that Arafat had collapsed.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said a team of doctors would be making recommendations concerning Arafat's medical treatment later on Thursday. \u003cbr/\u003eRaanan Gissin, a top advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon confirmed on Thursday that a conversation had taken place overnight between Sharon and Qureia regarding Arafat's deteriorating health.\u003cbr/\u003eSharon and Qureia reportedly spoke by telephone and agreed in principle to allow Arafat to be flown abroad for treatment, if necessary. \u003cbr/\u003eIsraeli officials then confirmed that the Palestinian leader would be taken to a hospital in Ramallah, the first time in nearly three years he would be leaving his compound.\u003cbr/\u003eIsraeli Defence Minister, Shaul Mofaz confirmed that Israel \"will do whatever necessary to assist in the medical care of Arafat\".\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile, there were mixed reactions amongst Israelis and Palestinians on the streets of Ramallah, Jerusalem and Gaza to the news of Arafat's ailing health. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the West Bank town of Ramallah, one man said the Palestinian people hoped Arafat would get better and return to work.\u003cbr/\u003ePalestinians on the streets of Gaza, meanwhile, thought Arafat's passing would mean that the Palestinian people had been \"lost\".\u003cbr/\u003eMany Israelis in Jerusalem said they hoped that if Arafat died, the chances for peace in the Middle East would be improved. \u003cbr/\u003eBut some Israelis feared that if Arafat were to die, the militant group Hamas would take over the leadership of the Palestinians. \u003cbr/\u003eAnd settler leader, Josh Hasten, said Arafat's death would be a \"good thing\" and that the Palestinian leader \"deserves to die\". \u003cbr/\u003eAlso on Thursday, Jordanian doctors hurriedly left for the West Bank to examine Arafat, whose two-week illness has taken a turn for the worse. \u003cbr/\u003eMedical team leader Dr. Ashraf al-Kurdi said Arafat would be transferred \"to the best centre in the world\" for medical treatment, if necessary. \u003cbr/\u003eAfter speaking in the Jordanian capital,  Amman al-Kurdi left with his team for the Allenby Bridge, the crossing from Jordan into the Israeli-occupied
