Yassin could have agreed to a tempo-
rary cease-fire with Israel and made
it stick.
Also writing in Ha'aretz, Zvi Barel
noted that Yassin insisted that the
war against Israel not transcend
Israeli-Palestinian borders, but his
successors might not be similarly.
restrained. Barel says new Hamas
leaders will lack Yassin's authprity
and that Hamas could break up into
small splinter groups, some of which
may ally themselves with global ter-
rorist groups like Al Qaida.
Hamas, Barel suggests, now could
decide "to turn its back on years of
strategy and begin operations out-
side the country, striking at Israeli,
Jewish or American targets overseas."
Indeed, Abdel Aziz Rantissi,
named March 23 as Hamas' new
chief for the Gaza Strip, vowed that
the group would attack Israelis
everywhere. "We will fight them
everywhere. We will hit them every-
where. We will chase them every-
where. We will teach them lessons in
confrontation," Rantissi told thou-
sands of mourners gathered in Gaza's
main soccer stadium on Tuesday.
It's too early to say to what extent
targeting an Islamic symbol like
Yassin may have opened up a wider
front for Israel with the Muslim
world. Al Qaida has vowed to avenge
Yassin's assassination.
Israeli army officers describe the
Yassin assassination as heralding "a
new era in the fight against terror,"
which Israel has entered with its eyes
wide open.
But as the struggle with Hamas
escalates, it could take on new
forms, raising the stakes for both
sides. If that happens, will the
Palestinian Authority and its main
Fatah movement stand aside, happy
to watch Israel create the conditions
for the P.A.'s political hegemony? Or
will they feel forced by Palestinian
public opinion to join Hamas in
fighting Israel?
The answers to those questions
could determine whether Sharon's
bold attempt to single out Hamas
succeeds or fails — whether new
violence leads only to more carnage
or to some sort of political accom-
modation. C
