Debka says that Arafat plans to openly throw his PA police into battle, thus burning his last bridges with Oslo. A PA spokesman made an announcement to that effect on Iranian TV, apparently. That's suicidal but entirely in character.

Debka's track record on PA moves has been pretty good, as far as I can judge from subsequent events and reports in the mainstream Israeli papers. Debka's track record on Israeli government actions is quite good if you filter out some of the Likud editorializing. I think that Likud ministers and staffers must be using Debka as a leak recipient, just as Washington staffers use Newsweek.

As for Debka's opinions on Central Asia, they've rarely been corroborated by later events.
