Military Intelligence Reviews Scenarios If Arafat Dies


(Ha'aretz) Gideon Alon - Military Intelligence research chief Brig. Gen. Yossi Kuperwasser told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Monday that he does not expect the armed Palestinian groups to disarm or that there will be any change on the ground if Arafat goes into decline. He predicted that there would not be a Palestinian civil war because the heads of the PA will do everything they can to prevent one. Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said, "I believe that on the day after Arafat's death, their various leaders will behave differently. I believe there is a chance for the rise of pragmatic leadership. The test of that leadership will be the test of action with regard to the war against terror and conducting reforms in the PA."
