...plans are simply interim steps aimed at reviving the long-term land-for-peace political negotiations that ended with Sharon's election. The Palestinians, European mediators and even Israeli foreign minister Shimon Peres have urged an immediate resumption of political negotiations along with the initial steps to restore calm. They believe that unless Arafat can demonstrate the existence of a viable peaceful road to Palestinian statehood and an end to the occupation, any cease-fire is bound to collapse.

...like Israel PM Ariel Sharon's - have failed to stop a dramatic escalation of violence of late. And that's causing consternation among the Arab allies Washington wants to recruit for a war to topple Saddam Hussein. Other parties mediating the conflict, including Israeli peacemakers such as foreign minister Shimon Peres, have long emphasized that progress depends on linking cease-fire efforts to negotiations over Palestinian statehood.
