I belive we may have now an unprecendented development "Arafat in the Box", if he does not have a State (and I can't see how he could control Hamas or Israeli right) we could see direct escalation... Key Deal Reached in Mideast Talks Thursday, 22 October 1998 Q U E E N S T O W N , M D . (AP) IN A drive to conclude a West Bank accord, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yasser Arafat reached agreement Thursday on revising calls in the Palestinian charter for Israel's destruction. Under the agreement, the Palestinian National Council would assemble along with other Palestinian groups and take formal action to annul clauses of the 1964 document that promotes Israel's dismantling as a Jewish state. "We succeeded," a senior Israeli official told The Associated Press. Minutes later, Palestinian sources confirmed the agreement on the covenant. Netanyuahu had made action by the Palestine National Council a centerpiece of the eight-day summit, declining to sign on to a further Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank unless Arafat yielded to his demand. The Clinton administation gave only limited backing to Israel on the point, saying repeatedly that Arafat had already taken big strides to disavowing the emotional provisions of the Palestine Liberation Organization's founding document. But Netanyahu, who threatened to quit the talks Wednesday night to underscore his determination, insisted that only the council could complete the legal cancellation of the emotion-laden provisions. President Clinton would attend the convocation, according to the Israeli and Palestinian sources. There was no immediate confirmation from the White House or the U.S. summit hosts.
