David Warren on the Muddle East...
2002-05-14
Warren tackles the Likud vote, Sharon versus Netanyahu, the Prince Abdullah visit to Crawford, and Yasser's position.
'Yesterday, at a meeting of Mr. Arafat's Fatah party, the first nail went into his coffin. A document was presented that specifies "fundamental reforms" for the movement. This will progress towards the Palestinian Legislative Council. It would transfer most of Mr. Arafat's power to a new post equivalent to prime minister. In particular, the Palestinian security services would report to the Council through this new figure.'
