...Western governments concerned to avoid a new escalation of hostilities will likely pressure on Arafat to do more to rein in the militants. But the apparent collapse of his most strenuous effort to date suggests that even if he can muster the political will to press the case, the Palestinian leader will find it increasingly difficult to impose it on the streets. Hamas derisively asks what Arafat has achieved for the Palestinians in exchange for the cease-fire, and even grassroots leaders of his own organization ostentatiously, and publicly, defy his exhortations.

...have the luxury of waiting for brighter days. A deal must be struck before the most radical elements of both societies get a chance to further derail the peace process. The lame-duck autocrat and the war criminal have no choice but to work together. They must somehow muster the strength to come to the negotiating table and they must do it now. In the Middle East, tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone...
