Well, the tone of that is a bit more encouraging than that of Sharon.

I noted one paragraph that could be interpreted in various ways: "Israel will not be involved in this process, and will only maintain the right to veto candidates to the PAA in the event that such candidates had been connected to terrorist activities against Israel." The thing would be, who would define that, and on what basis? Does resisting the Israeli army count as terrorism? What does "connected with" include, and what doesn't it include.

Now if they could apply that restriction on people with terorist records both ways that would remove Sharon from the picture as well as Arafat, and be a lot more even handed.
