...attempted assassination a week earlier of the group's spiritual leader, Sheik Ahmed Yassin. Few people on either side of the conflict had had much faith that Hamas would stick to the cease-fire it declared in June. But the newest attacks--and the Israeli Cabinet's decision to expel Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat "in a manner, and at a time, of its choosing" for failing to crack down on terrorism--raised the specter of a return to all-out war between Israelis and Palestinians...

If the PA collapsed as a result, Israel would then have to resume the occupier's responsibilities in the Palestinian cities of the West Bank and Gaza. And whereas it has sent its troops on raids in many of those cities in the course of the current intifada, it has studiously avoided long-term deployments or resuming responsibility for civil administration. Even hawkish Israelis who have no intention of surrendering the hundreds of settlements Israel...
