Ex-Mossad Chief: Road Map Cannot be Implemented
(AP/Ha'aretz) "The road map...cannot be implemented. We know this, and the Palestinians know this, and the United States knows this," former Mossad head Efraim Halevy said Tuesday. Halevy questioned whether the Palestinians really want an independent state, noting they have taken almost none of the steps necessary to set up the offices, bureaucracy, legal, and security networks needed to run a country. Halevy said the Palestinians hope that waiting will actually work to their advantage. Arafat "has said very often that the future of the conflict will be decided in the womb of the Palestinian mother," Halevy said. "I think that is the strategy which causes the continued support for terrorist attacks," he said.
