Arafat and Netanyahu

Arafat and Netanyahu

Netanyahu and Arafat are both smiling in jubilation, but while Netanyahu's hungry gaze is fixed and menacing above the aggressive thrust of his nose, Arafat's eyes, hidden behind the thick spectacles, are more accommodating. His smile is swaddled in his kuffiyeh; his lips are stretched from ear to ear, the better to agree with Netanyahu's sharp, arrow-like smirk.
