Israeli officials are uncomfort- able with a glitzy White House affair like the one that accompa- nied the signing of the Israeli- Palestinian accords in 1993 — especially because of the contin- uing problem of Palestinian ter- rorism and the growing backlash in Israel. But the Clinton administra- tion wants at least a modest cer- emony — in part to shore up the president's standing as a serious player in foreign policy, in part as a spur to the donor nations that need to give more money to make the experiment in Pales- tinian self-rule work. Because of those concerns, an earlier plan to hold a very private signing at the State Department was scrapped in favor of a slight- ly higher profile event on the White House lawn. "It's definitely not going to be a love fest, in the same way that the 1993 signing was," said an of- ficial with a major Jewish group here. "Events dictate that it will be a somber, sober occasion that reflects how much work is left to be done." Top Israeli and Palestinian leaders will attend; the adminis- tration is trying to convince Jor- dan's King Hussein and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to show up, as well. Still unclear is the timing. Ear- ly this week, Israeli sources were predicting Sept. 14 — if the final negotiations go well, and if the dispute over Palestinian activity in Jerusalem does not explode. Pete Wilson: Serious challenger? on all immigrants — legal and il- legal. But it didn't seem to bother Jewish Republicans, who con- sider Wilson the only realistic al- ternative to a list of contenders many regard as too conservative —or too dull. "A lot of Jewish Republicans have been waiting for this," said Charles Brooks, executive direc- tor of the National Political Ac- tion Committee (NATpac), the largest pro-Israel PAC. "But there are real questions about whether he can survive in the party because of the influence of the Christian Right." Jewish Republicans, Brooks predicted, will continue to give money to the anointed front-run- ners — Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole of Kansas and Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas. "But Wilson may be the only one who gener- ates any enthusiasm among the Jewish Republican rank and file," he said. Mr. Wilson's decision to get serious also poses a serious chal- lenge to Sen. Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican and the only Jew in the 1996 race.
