...Zibri had gained relevance even before their murders. When Ze'evi died, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, working to preserve his national unity government, was trying to persuade Ze'evi to withdraw his resignation, tendered two days before. Under Zibri's leadership, P.F.L.P. activists had begun to sit on intifadeh action committees in each Palestinian town alongside leaders of the radical Islamic groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which don't share the P.F.L.P.'s secular ideology but do share the desire to kill Israelis.

President Bush urgently needs to restore Israeli-Palestinian political dialogue, but so far there are few positive signs. And Sharon is plainly in no mood to do Washington's bidding...
...Withdrawal will not be easy for the Israelis, because even after the Powell meeting Peres insisted that Israel could not leave before Arafat handed over Zeevi's killers - a point hammered home by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon Monday when he flatly rejected the Bush administration's call. But the Palestinian Authority has no intention of handing over the gunmen, claiming that the Oslo Accord requires only that they be arrested and tried under Palestinian law. U.S. statements on the issue have not mentioned Israel's extradition demand...
