Israelis mull post-Arafat strategy


03:39:27 È.Ù
Tel Aviv, March 5 - The Israeli army recently conducted an exercise to prepare senior officers for the day after Palestinian President Yasser Arafat dies, the daily Ha'aretz reported Friday.

The "war games" examined several possible scenarios on how Arafat's death - of natural causes - would affect the Palestinian autonomous areas and Israel, the daily said.

These included the possibility of violent demonstrations during his funeral, loss of control by the Palestinian authority, internal power struggles and attempts by Hamas movement to assume power in the Gaza Strip, it added.

Arafat was unwell and in a state of fatigue for several days last autumn, leading to speculation about his health. The 74-year-old was subsequently treated for gallstones and appeared to recover.

On the Palestinian side, his death and the time after is a taboo topic, local journalists said.
