"He was blatant about the fact that
this trip had less to do with diplomacy
than public relations," said a 20-year
veteran of the pro-Israel wars. "For
him to meet with [House Speaker
Newt] Gingrich and [evangelist Jerry]
Falwell before he met with the presi-
dent — and for him to choose to
make his initial speech to a group that
continues to bitterly attack Clinton —
was a virtual declaration of war."
A pro-Israel lobbyist called
Netanyahu's twin focus on Evangelical
and GOP critics of the administration
"the result of some very bad advice
that he no longer needs mainstream
American Jews."
Eavngelist Jerry Falwell met with
Netanyahu before Clinton did.
JAMES D. BESSER
Washington Correspondent
p
rime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu's pitch to anti-
peace process Evangelicals
and conservative
Republicans eager to take shots at the
Clinton administration produced
rumbles of discontent among Jewish
leaders during this week's pivotal
Washington visit by the beleaguered
Israeli leader.
Netanyahu's strongest reception
came not at an event sponsored by a
Jewish group and his own embassy,
but at a rally by the National Unity
Coalition for Israel. The group of
mostly Evangelical Christians along
with some politically conservative Jews
thundered "not one inch" after the
hoarse prime minister gave a blistering
assessment of Palestinian compliance
and assured listeners that Israel had
lived up to all of its obligations.
"It was curious that he began this
visit with an outreach to a coalition of
people who are not only antagonistic
to his host, the president, but also to a
majority of the Jewish community,"
said Abraham Foxman, executive
director of the Anti-Defamation
League. "Reaching out to these people
is nothing new, but it's curious that he
would do it at this time, especially
since relations between the two gov-
ernments are so sensitive. It's like pok-
ing a finger in the administration's
eye."
Other Jewish leaders were less char-
itable.
Netanyahu came to town Monday
with a long list of Palestinian viola-
tions of the Oslo and Hebron accords
and a general proposal for a West
Bank redeployment that would return
less land to Palestinian hands than the
administration believes would be
accepted by Yassir Arafat.
In a deliberate show of displeasure,
the administration cut the diplomatic
trimmings of the visit down to the
bare essen-
tials, with an
unusually
short White
House ses-
sion and no
lunch or din-
ner events
with
President
Clinton.

vice chair of

that "reports about an administration
cold shoulder during this trip aren't
true.
But diplomatic sources said that the
atmosphere for the visit was deliber-
ately chilly — a message that was
splashed across the Israeli press all
week.
But there was no chill when
Netanyahu arrived at the National
Unity Coalition for Israel rally, inter-
rupting an unscheduled speech by
Reverend Falwell.
