Arafat in Morocco over Jerusalem

The Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, is in Morocco for a meeting of Arab foreign ministers to discuss the future of Jerusalem.

He will attend a meeting of the Jerusalem Committee of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference OIC which is presided over by King Mohammed of Morocco.

The committee is dedicated to what it calls the liberation of east Jerusalem.

Correspondents point out that Jerusalem is the most intractable problem in the present peace process.
