#1 methinks the plan is working - slowly marginalize Arafat, while increasing the role of Egypt and Jordan.

#2 Palestinian officials would not divulge what kinds of reforms Arafat claimed he would accept in his reply, just that Arafat agreed to allow an Egyptian role in Gaza after an Israeli pullout.

If Arafart is true to form, what he's agreed to is just enough to generate a little interest, but not enough to make a real difference.

#3 Suleiman reportedly told the aging PLO leader he had until June 15 to relent, or else his future would be "left in the hands of Ariel Sharon."

I like the sound of "left in the hands of Ariel Sharon."

Bomb-a-rama, it sounds as if Mubarak isn't being fooled this time around.

I'll go with Ptah on this one. The ~~bullets~~ "hands" of Ariel Sharon will not be kind to Arafat.

#6 ...it sounds as if Mubarak isn't being fooled this time around.

More like "I've gotten used to having $2 billion coming into the country and I'd like to keep it coming".
