JERUSALEM (AP) - Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat stepped in to assert Tuesday that he - not his prime minister - is in charge of the Palestinian side in negotiations with Israel, throwing plans for an Israeli-Palestinian summit into confusion.

It seems that Arafat has already lost favor with the Hezbollah. You would have to doubt small gestures like this would win the support of these extremists back. IMHO, it just seems like a desperate act by an out of touch "has been" who still craves power...
