Polls point to Arafat win in Palestinian elections
Polls suggest Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat would win re election if elections were held today. Bush urged new leadership not compromised by terror, but pundits say Arafat’s return seems likely and could delay peace by leaving a strong pro Israel stance. Some Palestinians warn Bush’s call risks meddling while many anticipate January presidential and legislative polls with March municipal votes.
