What does Arafat wants? - 2003/09/09 23:29
Even though Abbas has had more success than Arafat in the peace process, the PNA and PLO Chairman was reluctant to give him more authority in order to keep achieving these goals. It seems that for Arafat is more important his political position that the peace of his people
Those who wants a real peace in the Middle East—everyone in the world, I suppose— maybe thought that the designation of a new Prime Minister for the PNA instead of Yasser Arafat was an important step in the achievement of that difficult goal. Moreover when few months after the “Roadmap to Peace” was declared, being followed by the ceasefire established by the Hamas. These success in the achieving of the peace—success that Arafat never have had— should have had an important significance for the Palestinian cabinet. It should have increased the trusting in Abbas’s work. However, Arafat and his cabinet was reluctant about giving him more political authority in order to keep achieving success in the peace process. There were an strong political fight between the Presidence of the PNA (headed by Arafat) and the actual government of Abbas. The result: the giving up of Abbas. It seems that for Arafat a political position is more important that the destiny of that people which he fight for.
