Israeli forces have surrounded and stripped Arafat down. Given that Arafat's popularity had been declining and that he has been fast becoming a figure who carried little cred Sharon may be actually (deliberately) turning him into a heroic figure holding out in his bunker in the eyes of the Palestinian masses. Sharon may be actually intending to save Arafat political and even physical life. By surrounding he may also protecting him from an Islamic assassin squad. At the same time the aggressive military exercise being undertaken by Sharon is intended to flush out, destroy and capture the more militant intifada activists including its leaders. In so far as Israel successfully achieves this aim of crushing or at least seriously defeating the militant intifida network it has also successful disposed of Arafat's competitors even rivals for power. In the aftermath the Palestinian masses will be more demoralised while Arafat will emerge as the redeemed leader whose status in the eyes of the Palestinians will have recovered significantly. Under these conditions Arafat will be in a much stronger position to copper-fasten a sell out to the Israeli state with less fear of its being upended and his being assassinated. Under these conditions too Sharon or his ilk will be, from a position of victory, in a much stronger position to have the freedom to manouevre and negotiate an effective settlemement. Arafat may even know of this plan.
