#877 | 37
Source: Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar)

The following are excerpts from an interview with Yasser Arafat's political advisor, Mamdouh Noufal which was aired on Al-Jazeera TV on September 28, 2005:

I think that (Arafat) planned an armed Intifada. He nurtured its militarization right from the start, because he thought that through militarization he could pressure Barak and later Sharon and force them to make concessions. He thought that there might be international intervention like in the Battle of the Tunnel, in the days of Netanyahu.
