Palestine rejects Arafat power bid
The Palestinian parliament has rejected Yasser Arafat's request that a Cabinet formed by a future prime minister be "presented" to him. It was one of several amendments to a reform package the Palestinian leader had proposed. MPs remained divided over whether Arafat proposed the changes to try to weaken the new prime minister or was simply seeking minor procedural changes.
Well, the less power will Arafat enjoy in the new political system of the PA, the more chances exist that the terror war will come to its end and Israeli-Palestinian political negotiations resumed.
I'll hold my breath on this one.
