...Zinni brought nothing new in his toolkit. Instead, his mission was a kind of third-time-lucky attempt to activate the cease-fire plan formulated last June by CIA director George Tenet, and sullenly adopted, but never implemented, by both sides. The Tenet plan, though, was simply a rough choreography - whose sequences and precise requirements have consumed most of the talks hosted by Zinni - of the prelude to implementing the Mitchell Report. And the Mitchell recommendations are squarely based entirely on the premise of helping the two sides find a way back to the final status negotiations that began...
...variety of plans for Middle East peace are in circulation. The Mitchell Report, authored by a former U.S. Senator, suggests several steps each side must take toward a lasting peace, while the Tenet plan, proposed by the CIA director, focuses on a reduction of violence. Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah creates a flutter when he suggests that peace and normalization of relations would follow if Israel withdrew from lands occupied after the 1967 Arab-Israeli...

The two sides failed to reach agreement, and the Israelis called a halt when a bomber killed himself and three others near shops in West Jerusalem, only a day after a similar attack on a bus killed seven. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat condemned the attacks. After Zinni met Israeli Prime Minister...
...movement in order to enforce a cease-fire may not be his first instinct right now. The rewards - a meeting with Cheney, a starring role at the Arab League summit - may not be enough to persuade him to tempt the wrath of the Palestinian street. Moreover, the Tenet-Mitchell cease-fire formula would require him to disarm the very militias whose actions have helped restore his political fortunes...
