The London Conference on reforms in the Palestinian Authority has begun, though without the participation of PA representatives. Israel forbade them from attending following the Tel Aviv bombing of last week in which 23 people were murdered. Prime Minister Sharon informed his British counterpart Tony Blair that reforms in the PA must be decided upon here, not in Europe.
Egyptian Intelligence Commander Omar Suleimon will announce at the conference a new formula for the end of terrorism against Israeli civilians. Even Arafat is said to agree to it - but it does not include attacks against soldiers and Jewish residents of Judea, Samaria and Gaza, who are still considered "legitimate" targets.
