After the Palestinian Elections
(State Department) Secretary of State Colin Powell - Secretary of State Colin Powell told ABC on Sunday: The U.S. can help the new leaders of the PA reform their government, to make it more efficient, less corrupt. We can help, working with the Egyptians, Jordanians, and many others, in the rebuilding of the Palestinian security forces so that they can take control of Gaza. It means more financial aid. Since Arafat's death, I have noted with satisfaction greater efforts to cooperate between the Israelis and the Palestinians. With good will, and with good leadership coming into the Palestinian Authority, it is now time to get going on the roadmap.
