A Palestinian-American activist fighting to remain in Israel appealed to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir to meet with him before he decides on his appeal. Mubarak Awad, a Jerusalem-born U.S. citizen, said he wrote Shamir offering to explain how his Palestinian Center for the Study of Non-Violence sought to end Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. “I said to Shamir . . . I am willing to help work for a peaceful resolution without the killing of any individual in this conflict,” Awad, 44, told Reuters news service.
