...since before he assumed his post last month. Although its spiritual leader, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, is at least willing to listen, most Hamas bosses in the Gaza Strip consider Abbas' regime a puppet of Israel and the U.S. Both governments have urged Abbas--who met with Secretary of State Colin Powell last week--to arrest Hamas leaders and agents if negotiations produce no results. So far, his moves have been tentative. A senior Israeli security official says Abbas' men recently seized four bombs intended for attacks on Israel but didn't pick up the men who planned to use them...
...much as I respect Secretary of State Colin Powell, I was dismayed to read that when asked if France would suffer consequences for opposing the U.S.-led war, his answer was yes [NOTEBOOK, May 5]. The Bush Administration is busy patting itself on the back for "liberating" a country from a dictator who brutally punished anyone who opposed him, and yet our leaders are threatening to punish another country because it had the temerity to disagree with the U.S. Bush may want to look up the definition of hypocrisy.

...into a residential and office compound in Znamenskoye, a township in the Nadterechny district, and exploded, killing 59 people and injuring 200.

Secretary of State Colin Powell flew to the Middle East last weekend in an effort to kick-start the U.S.-backed plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace.

The Palestinian chief last month grudgingly turned over power, at least in theory, to a newly installed Prime Minister, Mahmoud Abbas. But top Palestinian officials tell TIME that Arafat is still fomenting opposition to the new PM. Arafat met last week with several local leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Fatah faction (to which Abbas also...
Newt Gingrich's recent criticism of Colin Powell and the Department of State for bungling the diplomacy before and after the Iraq war continues to keep Washington buzzing. But how does President Bush feel about it? TV viewers missed a chance to find out during his interview with NBC's Tom Brokaw three weeks ago. A Bush friend tells TIME that the President "wanted to take a big swipe" at Gingrich during the interview--but Brokaw never brought up the subject. According to an Administration aide, Bush's remarks were going to consign the former Speaker to the cohort...
