(IsraelNationalNews.com) CIA Director George Tenet is remaining in the area after PA leader Yasser Arafat announced his decision to accept the US blueprint for actualizing a cease-fire in the area. The US plan calls for returning the situation to its state prior to the start of the PA war on September 29, 2001. This would oblige Israeli forces to withdraw from their current positions.
Political analysts report that Israel’s handling of the CIA plan placed the PA against a wall, with Arafat having to make the critical decision or face the international community and explain why the PA insists on continuing its war.
While Tenet prepared for what was to be his pre-departure meeting on Tuesday night with Arafat, terrorists in a shooting attack on the Jerusalem – Maale Adumim road, snuffed out another innocent life. Gur Pzipokatsatakis, 35, of Wadi Kelt, became the 118th victim of the ongoing PA war.
Senior Israeli and PA security officials are scheduled to meet on Wednesday to being ironing out details for the implementation of the cease-fire. At this time, it is unclear if Tenet will participate in Wednesday’s meetings.
