JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The afterglow of a U.S.-led Middle East summit faded on Thursday, with Palestinian President Yasser Arafat saying Israel had offered nothing "tangible" and hard-liners on both sides vowing to oppose a road map to peace.
Arafat, who was excluded from Wednesday's landmark talks in Jordan but apparently played a behind-the-scenes role, dismissed Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's pledge to uproot some settler outposts in the West Bank as meaningless.
JERUSALEM - Palestinian leaders expressed doubts Thursday about Israel's commitment to remove all unauthorized Jewish settlement outposts in the West Bank under a new Mideast peace plan.
Jewish settlers, meanwhile, have waged angry protests and are pledging to resist the dismantling of even one of the approximately 100 outposts they have set up in the past five years to thwart land-for-peace agreements with the Palestinians.
