______________________________ Yediot Ahronot calls on Israelis to sharpen their awareness of public corruption and reviews several prominent corruption cases. Hatzofeh asserts that recent anti-terrorist arrests prove that the Palestinian Authority security services have been directly involved in murderous terrorist attacks against Israel. The editors believe that, „Abu Mazen is a front for Hamas and for all of the terrorist organizations, just like the arch-murderer Arafat was.”
