Arafat Agreed to House Secret Iranian Bases Inside PA

At the time, Arafat was the most frequent foreign leader to the Clinton White House, who personally saw to it that the Palestinian Authority was created with sovereign territory.

Iran and the Palestinian Authority headed by Yasser Arafat reached a secret agreement in 2002 to establish Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps bases in the West Bank and Gaza in exchange for military aid.

Transportation Minister Shaul Mofaz, who served as defense minister at the time, discovered the details on Monday.

As part of the deal, Iran supplied the PA with 50 tons of military equipment, which was intercepted by the Israel Defense Forces on the ship "Karine A" in 2002.
