Len. Maybe the Israeli policies are the correct ones. FORCE, something the palestinian/arabs really understand. Maybe peace has a chance and lives on both sides will be saved thanks to Jewish ingenuity. Palestinian Cabinet Ministers Quit Sep 11, 9:05 AM (ET) RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - In a major blow to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, his 21-member Cabinet was forced to resign Wednesday to avoid being ousted by parliament in a vote of no confidence. The showdown between the parliament and Arafat marked the most serious challenge to the Palestinian leader since he returned from exile eight years ago to take the helm of the Palestinian Authority. "There is a crisis of confidence," said lawmaker Salah Taameri, a veteran member of Arafat's Fatah movement. Just moments before lawmakers were to hold the vote Wednesday afternoon, Cabinet ministers submitted their resignations to Arafat. The Palestinian leader accepted, making a vote unnecessary. A majority of legislators speaking Wednesday said they would not approve the Cabinet. Arafat has two weeks to present a new Cabinet, said Parliament Speaker Ahmed Qureia. There has been widespread dissatisfaction with the Cabinet, with many ministers considered either corrupt or incompetent. Arafat responded to the criticism in June when he added five new ministers with reputations for honesty and diligence as part of what he billed as major internal reforms. However, the changes were seen by many as largely cosmetic. apnews.excite.com
