Prime Minister Netanyahu sits atop this pressure cooker. I met with him in Jerusalem as he attempted to work out the final details of the withdrawal from Hebron. The stress of these complex negotiations was not evident on his youthful face and his manner was as affable and energetic as ever. He confirmed to me his commitment to Oslo and the peace process, but at a pace dictated, and conditioned upon, mutual compliance with the Oslo Accords. That he sees as the mandate of his election.
Hard choices lie ahead.
The prime minister indeed, the people of Israel deserves the full support of the Jewish people. What is not needed is arm-twisting from Washington, made easier by divisive public debate in the American Jewish community. The stakes are simply too high. Rhode Island Ave.
