The paper believes that Abu Mazen will not insist on disarming Hamas and Islamic Jihad and instead will negotiate with them in order to absorb them into the Palestinian police. In this way he hopes to legitimize their actions. Yediot Ahronot, in its second editorial, calls on Israelis to be patient and not expect results overnight in both the political and the economic spheres. Peace will not break out tomorrow, and neither will growth. But our destiny is not in our past, and what was done does not dictate the future. Yediot Ahronot, in its third editorial, criticizes the Bank of Israels interest rates policy and says that it is double the necessary amount. Yediot Ahronot lists the many disasters that have occurred this week and claims that Israel is a third world country.
