UN envoy "not welcome" in Palestine

[Freddie Stubbs]

The UN Middle East envoy, Terje Roed-Larsen, is not welcome in the Palestinian territories”, after his criticism of Yasser Arafat, the Palestinian leader's top aide said.

"Mr Larsen's declarations at the (UN) Security Council are unacceptable and he is not welcome in Palestinian lands," Nabil Abu Rudeina told AFP.

He also said Larsen's statements were "inaccurate and biased."

Roed-Larsen told the UN Security Council on Tuesday there was a "steadily emerging chaos" in Palestinian areas and that Arafat had shown a "lack of political will" to reform his government.
