#3 its complex - Abbas is pushing before the PLC to get more control over security forces, stop arafat from appointing a pro-Arafat Interior Minister. Abbas has little support on the street, but his strength is his external support, while Arafat is increasingly isolated.
So Arafat has grudgingly made psoitive noises to try to lessen his international isolation. Not clear who's behind above move - Finance ministry is in hands of a reformer, but not clear if PMA reports to Finance Ministry.
