faith in it will quickly be disappoint-
ed."
Close aides say Sharon wants to
resume negotiations with the
Palestinians, but not with Arafat. After
endless "last chances," Sharon has con-
cluded that the veteran Palestinian
leader is committed to a "strategy of
terror." Arafat "is not the guy to talk
to," Sharon's aides say.
, In Sharon's book, Arafat made his
strategic choice back in 1993, as soon
as the Oslo peace process began.
He doggedly built up illegal armed
groups alongside the Palestinian
Authority police force — which itself
was allowed to grow far beyond its
legal size — and stockpiled weapons
for them.
These groups — like the Tanzim,
the militia of ,A.,rafat's Fatah Party —
now are involved alongside Hamas
and Islamic Jihad in a constant terror
war against Israel. Fiements of the
Palestinian security Forces as well as
Arafat's Force 17 presidential guard,
also take part, according to Israeli
security sources.
Moreover, Sharon sees the Hamas
and Islamic Jihad activity as part of
Arafat's strategy. Ostensibly in opposi-
tion to the Palestinian Authority, the
fundamentalist factions are, in effect,
active members in Arafat's "coalition
of terror," Sharon says, a means of
bleeding Israel while leaving Arafat
ways to profess his innocence.
On Monday, Hamas activists
protested Israel's assassination of a sen-
ior militant, Yakoub Dakidak. As
Dakidak's body was paraded through
the streets of Hebron, the more mili-
tant Palestinian organizations seemed
in no mood for peace.
In a manifest released Monday
morning, Hamas and Islamic Jihad
called upon all Palestinians to contin-
ue violence against Israel. Moreover, in
interviews with Arab television net-
works, the groups announced that
they refuse to obey Arafat's order
against suicide bombings.
The premier's aides concede that
Sharon promised President Bush not
to harm Arafat physically or drive him
out of the country. That, they say, is
the meaning of the Cabinet's "irrele-
vancy" resolution: Arafat will not be
attacked directly, but will simply be
ignored and rendered meaningless.
