Is there still hope for the Palestinian prime minister?
I pray this is true.
Egyptian Intelligence Chief Omar Suleiman has reportedly warned Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat to relax his grip on the reins of Palestinian power or face the possibility that Egypt and the US will cease to block Prime Minister Ariel Sharon from carrying out his threat to "remove" the chairman.I still think the Quartet's plan for the Palestinian prime minister is the best hope for progress.

Agreed. Arafat must be removed from power. But he must not be removed in a way that leaves a vacuum.

This guy was supposed to step down a year or two ago. I still wonder how he's been allowed to make public claims for peace while continually pushing for violence among his own people. Oh, and the whole PLO being renamed to the PA was quite fun.
