Israel and U.S. to Examine Qurei's Commitment to Peace
(Jerusalem Post) Janine Zacharia and Herb Keinon - Senior Israeli officials, en route to India with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said Monday that the replacement of Mahmoud Abbas with Qurei is little more than "musical chairs" with Arafat in charge of turning on and off the music. A senior official in the prime minister's office said at this point Sharon does not feel it is the right time to deport Arafat. The feeling in the defense establishment is that Arafat would still cause more damage for Israel abroad than he is able to do from Ramallah. The official said Israel is fully coordinated on this matter with the U.S., and will not act without consulting Washington.
