What Arafat can and can't do
Article Abstract:
Israel wants Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat to decisively crack down on Palestinian terrorist groups following the Jul 30, 1997, bombing that killed 13 in Jerusalem. However, Arafat does not have the political leverage he had in early 1996 when the Oslo peace accord was progressing nicely.

Adieu, Arafat?
Article Abstract:
Israel's renewed 'war against terrorism' puts Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat under huge pressure and he may not survive as leader. Arafat has already lost much control, but any successor would probably be more radical towards Israel.
