I TO DA GEEZY:
Hopefully it won't, but reallity is harsh you know, and there's no cause to tell you the truth , there's just ONE purpose- to maintain instabillity, and at that the terrorists sucseed completely...If they were aiming to create a state of their own, it would've already existed....They have already been given many great chances...The failiour of Oslo and even Camp David only served as proofs of the fact the dominant leading force in the authority are the millitants and the radicals.
Don Rizzle:
they may have failed but why gave up on the road map? considering america is the mediator i'm sure israel will get a very good deal out of it especially as its a republican government in an election year bending over backwards to please the jews. for lasting peace palestinians need to be included and israel needs to leave occupied territories what needs to be worked out is how it is to be carried out and how security can be maintained. i-geezy one thing u fail to mention whenever you say its not about terrirtory who assigninated you pm in the oslo peace process and why. also the current fears of a repeat if jewish settlements are removed the jewish people have no interest in giving up occupied land there is too much opposition against it.

'Gang rule' in Palestine: Jericho only city with functioning police
SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM
Wednesday, July 14, 2004
Palestinian Authority police are not on the beat in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
A United Nations briefing on the estimated 45,000 PA police and security forces in the West Bank and Gaza Strip informed the Security Council that PA police operate in only one city.
UN Middle East envoy Terje Roed-Larsen said the PA police are on the job in Jericho in the West Bank. Jericho has been the scene of training of PA police by Britain and Jordan, according to reports by Middle East Newsline.
"Jericho is actually becoming the only Palestinian city with a functioning police," Roed-Larsen said.
The failure of the police has led to chaos throughout the PA areas, the council was told. Roed-Larsen warned of a collapse of the PA and said the worst-hit areas was Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip and Nablus in the northern West Bank.
"Clashes and showdowns between branches of Palestinian security forces are now common in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinian Authority legal authority is receding fast in the face of the mounting power of arms, money and intimidation," Roed-Larsen said.
"Lawlessness and gang rule are becoming common in [the northern West Bank city of] Nablus."
The UN envoy said the PA "has made no progress on its core obligation to take immediate action on the ground to end violence and combat terror."
Roed-Larsen also criticized what he called Israel's failure to remove unauthorized Israeli outposts in the West Bank.
"Despite a well-intended prime minister, the paralysis of the Palestinian Authority has become abundantly clear and the deterioration of law and order in Palestinian areas is steadily worsening," Roed-Larsen said. "The PA is in deep distress and is in real danger of collapse."
In an unrelated issue, Israeli AH-64A Apache attack helicopters fired missiles toward a suspected Kassam missile facility in the Gaza Strip. An Israeli military statement did not report damage assessment from the missile strike on late Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the UN reported that a food convoy came under fire in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun. Israeli military sources said the UN convoy entered Beit Hanoun as Palestinian insurgents opened fire on military forces.

What I meant was the fact Israel had no territorial ambitions....
