Yossi Klein HaLevi Watch: Israeli Journalist: Arafat Doesn't Want Peace (Harvard Crimson)

Halevi said that he was told in private conversation by ousted Palestinian General Nasser Yousef that Yousef legitimately wanted to crack down on Islamist terrorist groups and knew where they were located, but was prevented from taking action by Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat.
Halevi said that from his talks with Palestinians he has determined that “almost all Palestinians conceive of peace, if at all, as a long cease-fire and not as a recognition of the other side’s legitimacy.”
According to Halevi, even Yousef told him he thinks that the resolution of the conflict will be a one-state solution, with Jews, Christians and Muslims living together in an Arab state—rather than a solution in which Israel is recognized as a sovereign state.
