Without mentioning Arafat by name, Bush, in a Middle East policy speech last month, proposed a Palestinian state but only after Palestinians had changed their leaders, made their institutions democratic and accountable, and ended violence.

"I think we would all be well served, and this process would be well served, if we had new leaders identified to us by the Palestinian people who would come with authority and responsibility to them," Powell said.

"What I am more interested in seeing is whether or not a person emerges who is able to operate with authority and able to put in place systems that work, able to put in place a security apparatus that works, that will show transparency with respect to the use of money," he said.
