Sharon repeats desire to remove Arafat

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has renewed his threat to remove Yasser Arafat from power. In a speech to Israel's parliament, Sharon described the Palestinian president as "the biggest obstacle to peace." He also pledged his commitment to the US-backed "road-map" initiative and said he believed a breakthrough in peace efforts is possible in the next few months. The Jewish state's latest military crackdown, however, is doing nothing to bring that about, in the view of the Palestinian Prime Minister.

Ahmed Qurie condemned Israel's use of air strikes. "It will not help us as a government who wants to reach a ceasefire," he said." Therefore we call for the Israelis to think in a very serious way about a ceasefire agreement because I think this is the only way to create an atmosphere for negotiations." On the streets of Gaza City, the talk was not of negotiations or a ceasefire but revenge - as hundreds of angry mourners staged a funeral rally for Hamas members killed in one of the Israeli attacks.
