Abstract
The October 1998 Wye River Memorandum between Israel, Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority (PA) and the US confirmed two important changes in the Middle East peace process. All progress will now be formally dependent on the PA's success in combating anti-Israeli terrorism; and, for the first time, the US will have a presence on the ground. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officials are charged with monitoring the PA's performance and judging the validity of Israeli complaints. While this may improve the chances for progress, the CIA could find itself in a very exposed position, trapped between Arab hostility and Israeli and US domestic pressure, and embroiled in growing rivalries within the PA itself.
