We are giving one more chance for peace at present by seeing whether Mr. Arafat will follow through his cease-fire commitment,
Unless the green light is turned into a red light, unless there's a clear message (from) Mr. Arafat to stop terrorism, there can't be any peace process.
The escalation that has occurred is because (Palestinian Authority President Yasser) Arafat gave a green light to a variety of Palestinian organizations ... to attack Israeli targets.
The real question is not just a political science question of how many ministers there are. The real question is whether Mr. Arafat will abandon violence, and that can only be seen on the ground.
