It’s a nice heads up for america and their belief that middle eastern governments are unrepresentative of their people - who, given half the chance, would obviously vote for pro-America moderates. Now they’ll be sorry that they didn’t deal with Arafat when they had the chance.
That said I can’t see it being a good thing for the peace process, not in the short term anyway but who knows. They always say, and said about the north in fact, that you needed the most militant on board to build a lasting peace.
