And on both ends, that's a tough call: Arafat will be hard-pressed to sustain any clampdown if he has nothing to show for it, even more so while Israeli forces remain inside PA territory. Ordinary Palestinians are unlikely to accept the arrest of Zeevi's assassins while Israeli forces continue to conduct assassinations of their own. And while Sharon's Labor Party partners may wring their hands and threaten to quit the government if the current military deployments in PA areas are maintained for too much longer, Israeli public opinion remains...

...decision had signaled a looming political crisis for Sharon, who has come under intense international pressure to resume long-term peace talks with the Palestinians since the U.S. began forging its anti-terrorism coalition a month ago. Still, the day before the assassination Sharon told an interviewer he would accept a Palestinian state if Israel's security was guaranteed, and the Israeli media was reporting that he was planning to present his own long-term peace plan to Washington to avoid being pressed into negotiating on the basis of the Bush administration's own vision...
