Israel supports Bush; Arafat, world want Kerry - Jerusalem Newswire
"The Israeli daily Ma’ariv reported Monday that senior PA official Nabil Sha’ath informed the BBC in an interview that he believes the “peace” process would benefit from Bush’s removal from power.
Sha’ath was quoted as saying that, were Bush to be returned to office, despite his commitment to renew efforts to resume the diplomatic process, “with the staff that surrounds him and with his current opinions, it doesn’t look promising.”
Kerry’s election would likely result in the return to the new administration of a number of President Bill Clinton’s staff.
“That would be a good thing,” Sha’ath said.
His opinion substantiates the assessment delivered to the Israeli cabinet last July by Israeli military intelligence chief Major-General Aharon Ze’evi, who said that Arafat was hoping for a Bush defeat."
