There is a hospital in Ramallah, he can go there. He just didn't want to because there are political costs to his moving. There are a bevy of terrorists holed up in the Mukata with him, "with blood on their hands", as the Israelis say, and only his physical presence is preventing the Israelis from taking them. I don't see Nabil Shaath or Saeb Erekat vowing to protect those terrorists with their lives.

Once Arafat is gone (may it be soon), the thing to watch is the money and the guns, imo. If you can. Arafat always ruled despite the chaotic conditions he himself created by keeping a tight fist on the money. Who will get the purse strings? Who gets the most boyos with the guns? That's the question. Arafat's aides can form all the committees they please, I don't give any of the "Tunisians" high chances once the shooting starts.
