Israel Approves Bush Proposal, Defies U.N. (washingtonpost.com)

They're going to let Arafat out if he confines six wanted men -- apparently the ones from the kangaroo court last week -- and (importantly) lets them be guarded by American and British jailers. I'm surprised; I really thought they wanted to take out Arafat.

At the same time, they aren't going to let the UN inspect Jenin. The biggest reason for that is probably because the UN decided to leave anti-Semitic former Red Cross head Cornelio Sommaruga on the team, but they are saying it's a dispute over who will choose the Israeli witnesses in the probe.
