Washington
alestinian Authority
Chairman Yassir Arafat left
an international donors con-
ference in Washington with
a potentially powerful weapon against
terrorists — more than $3 billion.
Americans, Israelis and the
Palestinian leadership expressed hope
that the money will boost Arafat's
standing against Hamas and Islamic
Jihad by helping his government bring
the benefits of peace to the average cit-
izen.
In fact, the U.S. State Department
has begun to identify needed health
care, education and social services in
an effort to provide alternatives to
Hamas institutions. These moves
come as the two militant Islamic
groups have gained support during the
past year in the West Bank and Gaza
Strip at Arafat's expense.
"No peace stands a chance of lasting
if it does not deliver real results to ordi-
nary people," Clinton told delegates at
the opening of Monday's conference.
"For too long, too many young people
have turned to terrorism and old
hatreds partly because they had nothing
better to do. We must give them a dif-
ferent future to believe in."
Officials hope the influx of cash
will create hundreds of thousands of
jobs and reverse declines in the
Palestinian economy. All major eco-
nomic indicators in Gaza and the
West Bank have dropped since the
first Israeli-Palestinian accord was
signed in 1993.
The pledges, promised by 43 coun-
tries for delivery within five years,
could rise to almost $4 billion, U.S.
officials said. The United States led
the effort by nearly doubling its $500
million pledge made in 1993 after
Israel and the Palestinians signed theiir
Declaration of Principles.
The European Union pledged
about $480 million, Japan $200 mil-
lion, Norway $170 million, Saudi
Arabia $100 million, Kuwait $80 mil-
lion and Canada $30 million.
The international community
pledged about $2.3 billion in 1993,
but many countries did not deliver on
all of their pledges.
Pending congressional approval, the
United States would send $400 mil-
lion to the Palestinians over five years
