The condition of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat has improved markedly as he entered a fourth day of emergency treatment in France, Palestinian officials have said Monday. Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath said 75-year-old Arafat was "more lively and less tired," after having a cereal meal with milk and tea. The cause of his decline in health, however, still remains unclear, after doctors ruled out leukemia. Doctors at a hospital near Paris are now reportedly testing the Palestinian leader for a viral infection. Results are expected to be clear on Wednesday.
