...course, Israel has not negotiated with Hamas - that's a prospect equally abhorrent to both parties. Israel's primary negotiating partner has been the Bush Administration. The PA, in the person of prime minister Mahmoud Abbas and his security chief, Mohammed Dahlan, has negotiated on the one hand with the U.S. and Israel, and on the other hand with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah and the smaller political-military organizations of the Palestinian Left. The formal agreements may be between Israel and Abbas, but Abbas has little independent political authority and has, instead, operated as an intermediary between the Israelis...

...pressure is also on Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas to crack down on Hamas. He's getting some much needed behind-the-scenes help from the head of Egyptian intelligence, Omar Suleiman, who dispatched assistants to the Gaza Strip to push the terrorist group into talks on a cease-fire with Israel. But those talks are dragging on, and Abbas continues to have his own problems. Last week his security chief, Mohammed Dahlan, met with Abbas' rival Yasser Arafat, a senior Palestinian official tells TIME, and assured him that "I am loyal to you. I am willing to implement your...

...Brigade to halt attacks on Israelis for three months. In response, the President declared, "I'll believe it when I see it," and echoed the Israeli demand that progress depends on the dismantling of the groups that had reportedly embraced a cease-fire. But Palestinian Authority prime minister Mahmoud Abbas, on whom the Bush administration is relying to deliver Palestinian compliance with the "roadmap," has made clear that he can only do so with the consent of the radical groups. Abbas has held off on accepting security responsibility for Gaza and parts of the West Bank pending a truce agreement...

...measured in generations and a long weekend of peace counts as a triumph, the gap between dreams and reality is deep. In the 10 days following a historic meeting at the Jordanian town of Aqaba among President George W. Bush, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas--a meeting full of promise and fine words--five Israeli soldiers and 18 civilians were killed by Palestinian gunmen and suicide bombers, and 23 Palestinians were killed by Israeli missile attacks designed to eradicate the leadership of the terrorist group Hamas. Of the Palestinians killed, 14 were civilians, including...

...halt ongoing terror attacks, much less on the dismantling of militias and terrorist organizations demanded by Israel and the U.S. The Israeli response has been more conditional, and just last week Ariel Sharon's government launched an all-out war on Hamas even as Palestinian Authority prime minister Mahmoud Abbas pursued cease-fire talks with the organization. Abbas has failed so far to persuade even the militants of his own Fatah faction to sign on to a cease-fire, much less the Islamist opposition...
