Yasser Arafat failed yesterday for the third time to force Israel to accept international observers in Yesha. The PA had no choice but to withdraw the proposal from the UN Security Council after the U.S. said it would impose a veto on the idea. The PLO failure was even more pronounced this time, as many nations that had previously supported Arafat on this issue did not do so this time. U.S. President George Bush, when asked about Israel\'s recent incursion into the PLO-controlled Abu Sneineh hills in Hevron, said, \"It is time that it be understood that Israel will not negotiate under fire, and Arafat must stop his threats and suicide killers.\"
