The reason I called it soft is because Netanyahu always says I cannot negotiate with a gun to my head. If I say that talks will end in six weeks, then the other side could kind of play out the clock and not take into account security considerations. And when he says continuous talks until there s white smoke, uh, to use the papal phrase, it s with some light at the end of the tunnel. The second, that was the second issue. If anything, as we saw what happened to Shimon Peres, when there was violence in March, the public went to the right and left the peace process.
Violence is off the table.
There s only going to be resolving problems by peaceful means. He feels Arafat certainly incited the people, he wouldn t go on Palestinian TV, and radio for two full days telling people not to go the streets, he told them go to the streets on the state-run radio, and he feels that now there has to be a new, new approach. A lot to add. I have completely different angle for what has happened. I am surprised actually that David went in these great details about Mr. Netanyahu being besieged.
