>>Washington is also pushing hard for a US observer or peacemaking force to come in as a buffer between Israeli and Palestinian forces.<< Since when? Either I've got a bad case of Alzheimer's, or this is more wishful thinking. International force, yes.

However, Tuesday, Israel is again beset by the traumas of rumor and unconfirmed reports. Is Debka going into the wry self-referential humor business, or are they suffering from complete irony impairment?

This may be no more than a tactical retreat. Tuesday noon, April 9, the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem announced the inner defense cabinet of three (Sharon, defense minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer and foreign minister Shimon Peres) was dissolved and replaced with the expanded defense forum, including the three new ministers. That's a terribly interesting development and suggests Sharon is switching his horses. He can't kick Peres and Eliezer out, even of this inner circle, but can swamp them with far right votes. Worth watching carefully.
