IDF Intelligence: No Palestinian Partner
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Major General Aharon Ze'evi, director of military intelligence, will present the IDF's annual intelligence assessment to the inner cabinet today. According to the assessment: Israel does not have a partner for diplomatic agreements at this stage - most certainly not in Yasser Arafat. There are no signs of Arafat agreeing to step down in the coming months, nor of a potential successor. There are no signs of an end to the confrontation with the Palestinians in the coming year. Israel must manage the conflict in such a way as to avoid it escalating or slipping into a conflict with other Arab countries.
