Palestinian President Yasser Arafat said Sunday that his people, locked in running street battles with Israelis, would remain resolute until Palestinians won sovereignty over Jerusalem.

News Item:
Communications Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer, told reporters that Israel has lost its peace partner and must therefore establish a unity government to prepare for major challenges ahead. He said he found it "difficult to believe that Arafat is going to abandon his new strategy of bringing about a Palestinian state by blood and fire."

Here is that strategy in a nutshell:

War for Jerusalem: Battle Plan

Step 1 Find a pretext for increasing the level of the violence [war]
Step 2 Increase it till the enemy is compelled to respond with [increasingly] harsh force. [Disregard your own losses; once the enemy can no longer respond you have won.]
Step 3 Call for outside help and use the enemy response to: Go to step 1.
As long as outside help continues to come and outside intervention does not come, you will eventually overcome the enemy.

Comment:
One potential source of outside intervention is the USA. If and when the USA is unable to intervene, that leaves only one other source.
