EHUD YA'ARI:
-------------------------------------------------------
The Sixth War
 Hizbullah calls the current war "The Sixth Arab-Israeli War", and I concur.
The war is over one thing: Whether the Palestinian state will be established in peace and for peace, or whether Yasser Arafat can accomplish statehood in a runaway fashion, that is without paying the price demanded of him at Camp David.
Arafat could not afford to publicly declare this to be his objective, but he made this his aim back in the summer of 2000 when he understood from US President Bill Clinton's pronouncements that the price he is expected to pay for a state entails formally declaring an end to the conflict and to all Arab demands from Israel.
Ehud Ya'ari, a Middle East affairs expert, is a commentator
for Channel 2 TV and the Jerusalem Report.
