That lever could well be Arafat's vital constituency in the occupied territories, where even a modest erosion of support is likely to force him into a radical reassess- ment of the PLO's strategy. Even before al-Shawa's dramatic declara- tion, King Hussein had sent a powerful message to the PLO chairman, one which may prove to be the shape of things to come. When United States Vice President George Bush visited Israel recently, he hosted the customary reception for dignitaries from the West Bank and Gaza. Supporters of the PLO characteristically rejected the invitation out of hand, an- nouncing that they would boycott the function. 'lb their dismay, however, they discovered that supporters of King Hus- sein had accepted en bloc. According to the pro-Arafat, Jerusalem- based weekly Al Awda, the PLO leadership swiftly revised its position and ordered its followers to attend the reception "rather than leave the field open to Jordan's sup- porters." "Like siamese twins," noted one corn- mentator on Middle East affairs, "Hussein and Arafat know that they need each other in order to live. They are playing a game of nerves." Few Israeli politicians are willing to predict the final outcome of the contest for ultimate control of the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza and its 1.2 million Palestinian inhabitants. They talk cautiously of "power-sharing," of "devolu- tion," of "autonomy" or of "functional par- tition." But what in essence they all mean, in the short term, at least, is a process which will lead the Palestinians to take responsibili- ty for running their own day-to-day affairs while Israel retains control over security. Israeli politicians on the right, who are ideologically opposed to relinquishing any part of the West Bank, regard this as their maximum concession to Palestinian nationalism. Those on the left, however, view it strict- ly as an interim arrangement: the West Bank — at least that part which is not con- sidered vital to Israel's security needs — remains a bargaining chip to be exchanged for peace. The hope on both sides, though is that the institution of what is, in effect, the old Camp David autonomy plan will force the Palestinians to take charge of their own destiny and thereby encourage the emergence of a new, moderate leadership which is independent of the PLO. According to Ehud Olmert, a member of the right-wing Likud Party in Israel's Knesset (parliament), no one possesses the tools that can provide the instant, perfect solution to the problems of the West Bank. "My political vision does not reach cen- turies ahead," he says. "I simply see the territories being shared by Israel and Jor- dan for an indefinite period?' He believes that the only alternative to conflict is autonomy, which would require "direct, unofficial, secret negotiations with the Jor- danians — something which has been done very successfully in the past." "We must be modest, work out a process of a very gradual nature and proceed from one point to another," he says. Olmert's reluctance to be drawn on the specifics of a final settlement is shared by almost all Israeli politicians, except those on the far right who favour annexation and those on the far left who advocate the establishment of a Palestinian state. "Everyone wants independence," says Dan Meridor, a prominent member of the Likud's young guard and one of the corn- ing men in Israeli politics. But since the prospect of an independent Palestinian state on the West Bank is simply not in the cards, Meridor sees just two alter- natives — the expulsion of the West Bank Palestinians, which he rejects, or coex- istence, "even if that means some Arabs be- ing deprived of the right to live in an in- dependent state." "Finding a way to coexist peacefully will present both sides with unique, un- precedented difficulties," he says. "But if we succeed, we can live for years with undefined, unresolved sovereignty. "Israel is now in the process of waking up from a dream. We wanted so badly to believe that there was going to be a dramatic, swift act that would solve the problem. Now, the disillusionment is bitter. "I want peace, I want negotiations, I'd be glad to sit and talk. But that possibili- Hussein wants to show that while Arafat can provide the ideology, only Jordan can put the bread on the table.
