would be established in the areas from which Israel withdraws in the West
Bank and the Gaza Strip; the Palestinian state will have no army, but
it will have a strong security force but an international multinational force
would be deployed to insure the safety and security of the state. Both sides

People’s evaluations of the future chances of
the peace process and the armed struggle vary. For example, some believe that

resort to armed attacks while others believe that armed attacks are
