...Obstacle Course A British conference on reform of the Palestinian Authority went ahead in London, though Palestinian representatives had to join in from Ramallah and Gaza via video phone. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon refused to allow them to travel in the wake of a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv.

ISRAEL Coalition Busters The opposition Labor Party ruled out rejoining a government led by Likud's Ariel Sharon after the Jan. 28 elections. Labor leader Amram Mitzna said he could not serve under a Prime Minister so tainted by corruption, a reference to vote buying and illegal funding scandals.

The intifadeh "has pushed Israeli society back in history to its Zionist ideological phase," says Benny Morris, a leading...
...Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, an old-time Zionist hero if ever there was one, heaped praise on Mitzna. The price for this return to Zionism is being paid by Israel's 1.2 million Arab citizens. During Israel's first two decades, the country's Arabs lived under martial law. Sharon's not there yet, but he's overseeing a divisive crackdown on the Arabs, who prefer to be called "Palestinians inside Israel," almost as much of a throwback as Lahav's songs. Even before the crackdown, life was tough for Israel's Arabs. The 10 Israeli communities with the highest...
