And If "Geneva" is Violated?
(Ha'aretz) Ze'ev Schiff - There are Palestinians who are sincerely ready to reach a painful compromise with Israel. Others - and not only Hamas - don't want that. The question is whether those who want compromise, as drafted in the Geneva understandings, are capable of enforcing those commitments on the Palestinian organizations and gangs. Judging from the Oslo accords and subsequent agreements, there is a great doubt about the Palestinian ability to fulfill a security agreement. One of the lessons of Oslo is that, in any agreement with the Palestinians, Israel needs "security margins" broader than those it had since 1993.
