Wow...

Yasser Arafat collapsed Wednesday evening, was unconscious for about 10 minutes and remained in a "very difficult situation," Palestinian officials said. A team of Jordanian doctors was urgently summoned to treat the ailing Palestinian leader.

Within hours, three senior Palestinian officials formed a special committee to run Palestinian affairs during Arafat's illness, according to a Palestinian official in Arafat's office.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of this. I don't think particularly highly of Arafat, but my thoughts are certainly with him at this moment. I don't know how this will affect the peace process, but I hope in the coming weeks and months the two sides can arrive at a peaceful solution that can last for generations.
