COMMENT

"There is no alternative to Yasser Arafat. He is the only one
with the stature, prestige and public support to make a
settlement with Israel and force it upon those who oppose
such a settlement." "There is no military solution to the
Israeli Palestinian conflict. If you kill one terrorist,
others will come in his place. The solution must be political
and social."
