He's being pressed hard to reform his administration from both the moderate Arab regimes and his own constituents. Saudi Arabia and Egypt have in recent days reportedly been applying pressure on Arafat's aides for a strong crackdown on terrorism - the Saudis and Egyptians have also been working to draw Syria, which has traditionally backed Palestinian "rejectionists," into a new peace initiative, and leaders of the radical Hamas and Islamic Jihad organizations have reportedly been summoned to Saudi Arabia to be urged...
