Arafat will gamble on Israel's 'war' failing again
Article Abstract:
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is striving to present military action against Palestinian as a war on terrorism. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is coming under pressure from Israel, the US and the European Union to arrest those branded as terrorists. Arafat is unlikely to respond, believing that US anger against him will eventually be balanced out by US embarrassment with Israel.

Israelis trample on corpse of peace
Article Abstract:
The Middle East peace process has encountered serious difficulties in 1998. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed the Wye Agreement with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in Oct 1998, but formally declared it suspended shortly before Christmas 1998. He does not intend to negotiate with the Palestinians any more, and will also continue to build settlements on Arab land, as well as destroying Palestinian homes. US allies in the Middle East are now predicting that there will be great tension there in 1999.
