Ben-Eliezer`s Arrest threat over massacre of Egyptian PoW`s

Last week Egypt`s intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, who takes a lead role in Egypt`s negotiations with "Israel", reportedly told Mr Ben-Eliezer not to come because he could be arrested.
Egyptian media reported that the film alleged Egyptian POWs were executed by "Israeli" forces.
The affair has dominated Egyptian headlines and sparked an angry debate in parliament. The foreign ministry summoned "Israel`s" ambassador in Cairo for an explanation.
"Israel" captured the arid Sinai peninsula from Egypt in the Six Day war of 1967, with Egypt counterattacking in the 1973 war. The two sides signed a peace treaty in 1979 and Sinai was returned to Egypt.
Claims that "Israeli" troops massacred about 1,000 Egyptian POWs in several incidents in 1967 were first raised in 1995 by "Israeli" military researcher Aryeh Yitzhaki.
The government denied systematically killing POWs at the end of the war, but the story soured relations between "Israel" and Egypt for months.
At the time Mr Ben-Eliezer said he was not aware of any POW killings by his troops.
