REPORT: US-Israeli Sword over Arafat
************************************
Eight years after US President Clinton engineered the Oslo
Peace Framework Accord installing the exiled Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat in the West Bank and Gaza Strip with self-determination for his
people, George W. Bush has taken the lead in the effort to end his
reign.
The Palestinian may try last-resort maneuvers, but he cannot escape the
joint American-Israel sword poised over his head. Neither can he hope
for any world leader to reach out and rescue him. Israeli foreign
minister Shimon Peres and his dwindling pro-Oslo adherents may try, but
they will do so in isolation.
In the diplomatic flurry surrounding this terminal process, Israeli
prime minister Ariel Sharon sent a secret envoy to Cairo Wednesday night
with a personal message to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. The
response was immediate: Egyptian foreign minister Ali Maher was
dispatched to Jerusalem Thursday for urgent talks with the Israeli prime
minister. Maher, after meeting foreign minister Shimon Peres, is to call
on Arafat in Ramallah and goes on to Amman for talks with King Abdullah.
DEBKAfile's political sources reveal that Sharon's messenger was Shin
Beit Director Avi Dichter, who also set up the prime ministers' White
House talks with Bush Sunday, December 2, that laid the groundwork for
the current rush of diplomatic and military events. Our sources add:
Both the Egyptian and Jordanian rulers, appreciating that Arafat's days
as an effective leader are numbered, have moved forward to deliberations
with Israel on the post-Arafat order.
President Bush's strong and resolute stance against Arafat goes beyond
his pledge of support for Sharon's fight to the finish against
Palestinian terror. Firstly, the Bush team openly brand Arafat a cheat
and liar and will not forgive him for mocking General Anthony Zinni's
truce mission by blowing up the most brutal Palestinian terrorist
assault ever in his face.
But, most of all, Bush knows that government leaders the world over,
especially in the Middle East, are watching to see how he follows
through on his decisions.
In this important respect, the Afghanistan war will be strongly
influenced by America's handling of Arafat.
Additional potential American targets, such as Saddam Hussein, Bashar
Assad and Hassan Nasrallah, will be monitoring the US President's every
move regarding Arafat's fate. Whatever the Palestinian leader may decide
- a final, desperate round of terror strikes, or submission to America's
demands - or even one of his cunning blends of the two - in the eyes of
the Arab world and his own people, he is a goner.
