Transcribed from the clipping

"The Arab decade is over," Benjamin Netanyahu triumphantly told his audience of nearly 1,000 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Baltimore. On the Palestine Liberation Organization: "We smashed the PLO." This "did not happen accidentally," he said. One important result, he said, is that "no longer is the PLO able to say it represents the Palestinian Arabs." He added that "no one at the U.N. talks about Israel as a pariah state any more."
