Land for Peace: Addendum04/15/2003 Yasir Arafat, predictably, has rejected the new cabinet proposed by Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazin). Now the fight is on. Will Abbas threaten to resign, as promised? And if so, will Arafat cave, letting Abbas have effective control over the government? Will they reach a muddled compromise? Or will Arafat let him resign and take the consequences? The final possibility above cannot be disregarded. When a person has zero credibility with the international community, he has no crediblity to lose. Arafat seems to have located a "floor" -- a place where he can't fall any further. He seems to be altogether comfortable there. One man is not the sole obstacle to all progress in the Middle East, but it is frequently amazing how close he actually comes.
