The Palestinian intifada is a mistake and must stop, Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat’s top deputy was quoted as saying. Mahmoud Abbas made the comments last month in the Gaza Strip during a closed-door meeting with dozens of members of Arafat’s Fatah movement. A transcript of the session was obtained Wednesday from Abbas’ office by The Associated Press.
