Some, though, believe that nothing
will really move as long as Arafat is
around. Perhaps the parties must wait
for Arafat's successor to bring about the
end of the intifada, to create some sort
of a modus vivendi with the Israelis.
After all, say the optimists, Anwar Sadat
signed a peace treaty with Israel after the
brutal Yom Kippur War in 1973. At his
wink, tens of thousands of Egyptians
gathered along the streets of Cairo to
greet Israeli Prime Minister Menache.m
Begin, who until then was among the
most hated Israelis in the Arab world.
The truth is that any guess could be
right. Meanwhile, as commentators and
headlines blared the anniversary of the
intifada's outbreak, violence in the
region carried on at a brisk clip. An
Israeli settler killed a Palestinian, claim-
ing self defense; the Israeli army
detained a 15-yeas-old would-be suicide
bomber in Nablus; three Kassam rock-
ets landed in Sderot, and Israel again
appeared to be ramping up its attempts
to kill terrorist leaders, with the car-
bomb killinc, of a Hamas leader in
Damascus being widely attributed to
Israel and the attempted assassination of
a terrorist from the Popular Resistance
Committees that ended up killing a
Hamas man.
And Riad Ali, 42, a Druse Israeli
journalist working for CNN, was kid-
napped in Gaza. Though he was
released the next day, Ali's kidnapping is
another example of the continuing
anarchy in the territories. 0

THE ISSUE

As Israel pursues Palestinian terror-
ists in Gaza this week, some
observers are asking, "Where are
the security forces of the Palestinian
Authority?" The answer to that
question has some good and some
bad.

BIND= TEE ISSUE

The Palestinian Authority has thou-
sands of armed men in its security
forces in the Gaza Strip. While they
are not fulfilling their prior com-
mitment to disarm and arrest mem-
bers of Hamas, neither are they
challenging Israel's efforts to com-
bat the terrorists.
