Israel achieved a great deal; it
remained in full control of de-
termining how much territory
would be given over to Palestin-
ian governance. And they insti-
gated a process of reluctant
normalization with other Arab
states, generated economic con-
tacts, laid the foundation for
peace with Jordan, catalyzed
diplomatic ties with African and
non-Arab Muslim states and
generated a strategically impor-
tant military relationship with c/
Turkey. Finally, Israel's econo-
my, booming before the accords,
continued to grow six percent a
year as foreign investment
chased Israeli know-how.

The downside was Arafat's
failure to be Israel's "Wyatt
Earp." A transformation of a
mindset that shuns violence and
inciteful rhetoric has not hap-
pened.
We must accept certain ax-
ioms about these negotiations.
Respective expectations of the
other will not be met. Each pos-
sesses differing standards of ac-
countability and punishment.
Violence, regression, and non-
compliance remain a part of this
very unsatisfactory process.
Both retain lingering doubts
about the other's legitimacy and
objectives.
Four years since Oslo has told
us that it is not possible to ne-
gotiate a solution and imple-
ment one at the same time.
Every time there is a pro-
longed interlude between inter-
im agreements and their partial
implementation, there is more
violence and rhetoric.
Step-by-step diplomacy and
episodic visits by American
diplomats are insufficient.
A comprehensive Israel-
Palestinian final settlement
must be negotiated now.
Washington must engage ful-
ly. All past Arab-Israeli agree-
ments emerged with significant
degrees of American engage-
ment, assurances and guaran-
tees.
The White House must not
apply pressure, it must cajole;
it should not be draconian but
decisively diplomatic. It should
place a diplomat in the region
on a permanent basis to shut-
tle-negotiate between the re-
spective sides and regularly
bring the principles to Wash-
ington to show that we mean
business.
Washington is the only source
for the political super glue and
clamps necessary to implement
an agreement between sides
which staunchly agree to dis-
agree. ❑
