Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was
front-page news around the world.
But in a bilateral session at the White
House, Netanyahu tried to steer the
conversation to a different issue —
Israeli concern about the growing
threat posed by the ballistic missile
arsenals of countries such as Iran.
Netanyahu warned Clinton that the
time is coming when Iran will have
intercontinental missiles capable of
striking targets well beyond Israel.
Officials here suspected that in part,
Netanyahu's missile pitch was intended
to deflect attention from differences
over the peace process. But privately,
several conceded that the Prime
Minister's arguments coincided with a
growing feeling in Washington that
missile development in these countries
is progressing much faster than intelli-
gence officials had estimated.
Israeli officials say the administra-
tion still does not see missile prolifera-
tion as an immediate threat to
American interests — but that there
are signs this is changing.
"The real fear here is we are begin-
ning to realize how much we don't
know," said Shoshana Bryen, special
projects for the Jewish Institute for
National Security Affairs (JINSA).
"Recent events have demonstrated that
countries like North Korea can do
things we don't know about, and that,
more than anything else, is alarming
people."

Holocaust Appointment

Sources in Washington say the
Clinton administration has decided to
appoint Holocaust scholar Michael
Berenbaum to the U.S. Holocaust
Memorial Council.
Berenbaum is currently president of
the Shoah Visual History Foundation
in Los Angeles; before that, he served
as director of the U.S. Holocaust
Memorial Museum's Research
Institute. He has been one of the most
outspoken — and sometimes contro-
versial — advocates for serious
Holocaust scholarship.
But it's not clear when the
Berenbaum appointment will become
official. The Clinton administration,
always slow when it comes to filling
important positions, has not replaced
Council members whose terms expired
last January.
Meanwhile, the Council is moving
slowly and deliberately in the search
for a replacement for Museum direc-
tor Walter Reich, who was ousted
early in the year. ❑
