Undermining the War on Terrorism: The Role of Yasser Arafat and the Syrian Regime

Undermining the War on Terrorism: The Role of Yasser Arafat and the Syrian Regime

October 19, 2003 | Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amos Gilad
As long as Yasser Arafat remains the sovereign of the Palestinian entity, there is not the slightest chance for real peace. Peace, for Arafat, means one big Palestine from the Mediterranean to the Iraqi desert - including Jordan, the West Bank, and Israeli Arabs. The Oct. 4 bombing of a Haifa restaurant that killed 21 people was carried out by Islamic Jihad. Without Syria's support, it would be very difficult for this terror organization to function.
Saudi Arabia’s Dubious Denials of Involvement in International Terrorism

Saudi Arabia’s Dubious Denials of Involvement in International Terrorism

October 1, 2003 | Amb. Dore Gold
Saudi Arabia's past involvement in international terrorism is indisputable. While the Bush administration decided to redact 28 sensitive pages of the Joint Intelligence Report of the U.S. Congress, nonetheless, Saudi involvement in terrorist financing can be documented through materials captured by Israel in Palestinian headquarters in 2002-3. In light of this evidence, Saudi denials about terrorist funding don't hold water.
