Bush is building and the alliance his father, former president George Bush, formed during the Gulf War is that this time, Israel will be a full partner, a senior Western diplomat told The Jerusalem Post yesterday. President Bush said the cooperation of an international coalition would allow him to "rout out and whip" the terrorists. He warned that regimes that harbor terrorists would be held accountable for their actions. The president received the backing of NATO countries when the alliance yesterday invoked its mutual defense principle for the first time in history. The UN Security Council's unprecedented condemnation of terror will also give Bush's coalition a free hand. The diplomat said that Bush would face the same organizational issues in forming the coalition that his father was up against in 1990. It took the former president two months to assemble his coalition against Iraq, which left out Israel in order to avoid offending Arab sensibilities. The source said the emerging picture is that Israel's inclusion in a coalition against terror may allow it to participate in attacks against Iraq, as well as Iran and Afghanistan, but Israel will be subject to limitations. Less certain to join the coalition is Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of the man Bush holds responsible for the attacks on New York and Washington, DC, arch-terrorist Osama bin-Laden. The US is unlikely to go out of its way to include the Saudis, who the US believes have not decided whether they support or oppose terror. The same goes for Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres warned Arafat Wednesday that he would face the wrath of the world if he does not renounce terrorism. Arafat yesterday called for Arab states to declare their readiness to join the international anti-terror coalition. He made his proposal during a telephone conversation with Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa. "The president has discussed with Mr. Moussa ways to work in order to build up a united Arab position that confirms that all Arab countries are ready to take part in an international coalition against terrorism," Palestinian lawmaker Hanan Ashrawi told Reuters. She did not elaborate. The Americans see Arafat's scheduled meeting with Peres on Sunday as an opportunity to judge whether he is ready to stop terror. The United States hopes that the meeting will provide a forum for Arafat to initiate an end to the violence. The US was also concerned about the timing of Israel's invasion of Jericho Wednesday night. The diplomat echoed Palestinian fears in saying that Israel cannot act as if it has a blank check to target the Palestinians while the world is focused on New York. As for the US, actions that have been ruled out for decades - such as political assassinations - may be up for review, Western officials said. While Bush has promised a "monumental struggle" against terror, he was not only referring to a military response. One diplomat suggested that restraint, economic sanctions, and technological means can also be used to fight terror. ------------------------ Yahoo!
