----------------------------------------------- Israeli defense minister gloats over world silence at Palestinian deaths JERUSALEM, SEPT 14

Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer, gloated Friday over the fact that the international community has been silent about the recent Israeli killing of Palestinians in the West Bank.

The hard-line minister, in an interview published in the Yediot Aharonot daily, said this is a "disaster" for Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

"It is a fact that we have killed 14 Palestinians in Jenin, Kabatyeh and Tammun, with the world remaining absolutely silent. It's a disaster for Arafat," Ben Eliezer told the Yediot.

The ministry of defence did not deny Ben Eliezer's comments, but said they could not be considered as an official declaration.
