    • Abstract:
      The crisis in Palestinian ranks deepens almost daily. Security talks between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) are advertised as a breakthrough one day, stalled and deadlocked the next. Yasir Arafat cries betrayal, though he effectively acquiesced to the leverage Israel now exerts when he signed the Oslo declaration without establishing any plan for proceeding and without getting much in return but a grudging recognition of the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people. In Gaza and elsewhere, local leaders resign from the PLO, and its cadres grow more disaffected.
