Former Israeli Army Chief Accepts Defense Post
Former army chief Shaul Mofaz, known for tough tactics against the Palestinians and advocating Yasser Arafat's expulsion, has agreed to be Israel's new defense minister, an Israeli diplomatic source said on Thursday.

Arafat, the Palestinian president, responded that the appointment did not bode well for efforts to calm more than two years of Middle East violence.
