Critics charge that Mr. Ross has been excessively tolerant of Mr. Arafat's failings, an argument that is not without foundation. But Mr. Ross also has understood that the former terrorist remains the key to a Palestinian-Israeli agreement — there are no alter- natives waiting in the Palestinian wings — and he has worked pa- tiently to build trust with Mr. Arafat even while expressing strong American concern about the Palestinian Authority's ap- proach to the negotiations. Mr. Ross has managed to get along with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, despite the administration's damaging en- dorsement of his predecessor. Mr. Netanyahu may disagree with the American emphasis on the Oslo agreements, but he appears able to work with Mr. Ross without the dense cloud of mistrust that char- acterized relations with previous negotiators sent by Washington. * There is no "Ross plan." The history of U.S. Mideast diplomacy is littered with failed schemes — the Rogers, Shultz, Kissinger and Baker plans, to name a few — to rescue residents of the Middle East from them- ("\ selves. Mr. Ross has avoided squeez- ing the peace process into an American mold; he seems com- fortable with the reality that durable peace agreements must be built on painstakingly devel- oped common ground between participants. Mideast leaders are suspicious of solutions pitched by outsiders, and with good reason; the inter- national community continues to view the complex Middle East dra- ma through the lens of needs that have nothing to do with the peo- ple who live in the region. * Ross understands that heavy-handed pressure on Israel usually backfires. In recent weeks, pro-peace process activists have stepped up their criticisms of his unwill- ingness to squeeze Israel. Mr. Ross, they say, was fine during the Rabin-Peres government, when U.S. and Israeli policies were on parallel tracks, but his unwillingness to press a Likud government that has veered off that course jeopardizes the gains of recent years. There have been times when Israeli leaders have virtually begged for a nudge from Wash- ington to provide political cover
