For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
July 10, 2002
Statement by the Press Secretary
The recent closure of Mr. Sari Nusseibeh's Al Quds University offices
in Jerusalem is a troubling event. The President has called for
opening the political landscape to moderate voices. This action does
not contribute to the fight against terror, does not promote reform of
Palestinian institutions or advance the other goals outlined by the
President in his June 24, 2002 speech. We are discussing the situation
with the Israeli Government.
