<<<I don't know; I'll have to research this. I have heard that Israel's attempts to find some other Palestinian leader besides Arafat have backfired and just led to the growth of Hamas. >>>>

Nadine, you have it backwards.

Israel, in their infinite and flawed wisdom, raised Arafat out of exile in Tunis to lead his people, because they were afraid of Hamas.

Arafat was supposed to reign in Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which is why Israel supplied the PLO with weapons and armor.

Arafat instead attacked Israel.
