A West Bank pollster now thinks that power in the territories has shifted away from Arafat: The clearest expression of this trend, which Shikaki has been reporting for the last few months, is a growing political imbalance in the territories. For the first time, support for the Islamic nationalists (31 percent) has pulled ahead of support for Fatah (30 percent.) Shikaki's conclusion is unequivocal: "Arafat and the Old Guard will remain for now incapable of making a full commitment to the cease-fire. They lack the capacity to enforce one. Indeed, since the eruption of the second intifada, they have to walk a delicate tightrope: the PA no longer enjoys a monopoly over the use of force, its legitimacy is questioned by the street, the public is also very supportive of violence and highly opposed to any clampdown on the Islamists or the Young Guard, and no viable political process is looming over the horizon. haaretz.co.il
