However, Sharon has made it clear that the matter is subject to negotiation, and it provides an incentive to the Palestinians to resume talks with sincerity.

That's not what I'm understanding.. Have you read something to the contrary, or are you perceiving that Bush and Sharon are playing a "mutt and jeff" routine, by taking a hardline approach in public and opening private negotiating channels?

If so, this could backlash against Sharon for putting himself in a position that is not stated public policy for Israel.

And Arafat desolving the Prime Minister office would suggest that there will be no such serious back channel discussions..

After all, Arafat knows he's getting old. So what does he have to lose by resisting Sharon, except to achieve a legacy of having died opposing what many Palestinians believe is Zionist expansionism?..
