Let us look at how Judge Azar handled the issue of the suit
against the Egged bus company against Arafat and his
"Authority."
Arutz Sheva, IsraelNationalNews.com
"Arafat Goes To Court A bill for 52 million shekels did what
nothing else was able to do: get PLO chieftain Yasser Arafat
to recognize Israelis courts. He turned yesterday to the Tel
Aviv District Court, asking it to overturn a decision of seven
weeks ago obligating him personally to pay that sum. The
court, ruling on a suit by Egged, Israel's main bus company,
stated that Arafat must compensate the company for
terrorism-related damages caused during the first year of the
ongoing Oslo War.”
"Egged had claimed in the suit that Arafat himself, as the one
who drafted and sent terrorists to carry out terrorist attacks,
must be made to know that the costs will come out of his
own pocket. "This is just another way to wage the war
against terrorism," Egged claimed. In the first year of the
Oslo War, Egged suffered more than 50 attacks, in which
113 people were killed, including a bus driver, and 594 were
wounded, including 19 drivers. Financial damage added up
to over 164 million shekels.”
"The court ruled in early February, after Arafat did not even
bother to respond to the papers served against him, that he
must pay the sum - plus court costs of 100,000 shekels.”
"Atty. Yosef Arnon, representing Arafat, claimed in court
yesterday that the lawyers representing the PA/PLO in the
case were not his client's, and that Arafat therefore cannot
be judged to have received the court papers. Arafat's lawyer
also asked that the judge, Hon. Adi Azar, be disqualified from
the case."
