Peres and Arafat reportedly had some doubts about the proposed settlement, but felt the understandings might serve...

A serious breach in the peace process would reinvigorate Hamas; its popular standing waned as rapprochement advanced, but its bombs have already claimed a kind of victory for those who think violence is the only road to Palestinian statehood...
