#2 alternatively they can just try to prevent anyone from meeting him, and cut all communications (anyway to block cell and sat phones?) If he cant communicate, he cant very well manipulate Pal politics, can he?

#5 From Haaretz:
'The security cabinet decided Thursday that Arafat is "a absolute obstacle to the process of
reconciliation between Israel and the Palestinians, and Israel will act to remove this
obstacle."

The decision came during a meeting of the 11-minister strong security cabinet, convened by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to discuss
Israel's response to two suicide bombings in a Jerusalem cafe and outside an IDF base near Rishon Letzion on Tuesday, in which 15 people were killed.

Israeli sources said that the security cabinet
had also decided to ask the Israel Defense Forces to draw up a plan for the expulsion
Arafat.

The decision on removing Arafat was made without
a vote, and Interior Minister Avraham Poraz(Shinui) opposed the move. The cabinet decided
not to elaborate on exactly what Arafat's
"removal" would entail, whether it meant the
expulsion or the execution of the PA chairman.'

#7 Just have his plain fly over to Lebanon. I'm sure "Hezbollah" will "accidently" shoot the plane down.
