Al Aqsa Brigade with flags\u003cbr/\u003ePalestinian officials met on Sunday to push forward with plans for life without Yasser Arafat by setting a date for elections - January 9 - to replace their deceased leader.\u003cbr/\u003eThe presidential elections are a key test for the Palestinians, who want a smooth transition of power and hope for renewed international involvement in Middle East peacemaking. \u003cbr/\u003eOne point of dispute emerged immediately: whether Arab residents in East Jerusalem should be able to take part. \u003cbr/\u003eIsraeli officials, including Sharon, have previously expressed opposition to allowing east Jerusalem's 228,000 Palestinians to vote, saying it would weaken Israel's claims to the city.\u003cbr/\u003eBut on Sunday Sharon told his Cabinet that he wouldn't rule out the possibility of allowing Palestinians living in east Jerusalem to vote in the elections.\u003cbr/\u003eNo firm decision on the matter has yet been made, and some cabinet ministers appeared to disagree with Sharon.\u003cbr/\u003eIsraeli Cabinet Minister Tzachi Hanegbi said Jerusalem's inhabitants could not be part of the election process within the Palestinian Authority.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said if this happened it would lead to the division of the city.\u003cbr/\u003eHanegbi  also said there was 'no way' Marwan Barghouti would be allowed to participate in upcoming elections after a source close to Barghouti said he planned to run.\u003cbr/\u003eBarghouti is a leader of the Palestinian uprising and was jailed by Israel.\u003cbr/\u003eHe is perhaps the strongest candidate to oust Arafat's old guard of supporters and many believe him to be the only leader capable of unifying squabbling Palestinian factions.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Israel is determined not to release Barghouti, who is serving multiple life terms for his role in the killings of four Israelis and a Greek monk. \u003cbr/\u003eAs mourners gathered at Arafat's grave in Ramallah on the last day of the official three-day mourning period, Palestinian officials called on the international community to help Palestinians conduct their presidential elections without obstruction.\u003cbr/\u003eA group of Ultra Orthodox Jews on Sunday laid wreaths at the burial site. \u003cbr/\u003eThe minority group supports Palestinian national interests and asserts that only God can create a Jewish state and condemns Israel as a man made entity.\u003cbr/\u003eElsewhere in the West Bank, prayers were held for the deceased Palestinian leader.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity a special service was held for Arafat.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile in the Gaza Strip, the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, a militant group linked to Arafat's Fatah movement, held a support demonstration for their late leader. \u003cbr/\u003eScores of gunmen among the crowd displayed a new rocket named  the \"Al-Yaaser,\" after the former Palestinian leader.\u003cbr/\u003eIsrael's army chief told the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday that the military will stop permitting Palestinian security forces in the West Bank from carrying arms in public in the next 24 hours.\u003cbr/\u003eAllowing the weapons was permitted ahead of Arafat's burial on Friday as a measure of building goodwill with the Palestinians.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
