		One Palestinian taxi driver in Jerusalem, lamenting he can no longer drive direct to Ramallah but must drop passengers off at one of two checkpoints on the way, does so in a mixture of Hebrew and Arabic.

		In the Palestinian Authority, a campaign is under way to neutralize [Palestinian leader Yasser] Arafat altogether, now that the Palestinians have realized that their salvation will not come from terrorism and America represents their last hope.

		Al-Ayyam (Palestinian, Arabic-language, pro-Palestinian Authority), April 13: Many recent American statements have confirmed that while the road map will be made public after the formation of the new Palestinian Cabinet, it will not be immediately imposed on the parties.

		He is no longer fighting for the pragmatic Palestinian interest, but rather [he is fighting] in order to advance his image in the infinite open space of Arab, Islamic and Palestinian history pages, in that order.
