American officials from explicitly stat-
ing before the U.N. General Assembly
last week that he would declare a
Palestinian state on May 4 — a move
Netanyahu insists would destroy the
peace process — he reiterated in his
U.N. speech that the Palestinian peo-
ple expect to establish an independent
state.
•The extreme tenseness and fragility
of the situation is exemplified by
security incidents that have been
occurring almost daily.
Among them were a grenade attack
on soldiers in Hebron on Yom Kippur
and the mysterious explosion last
week of a car-bomb near Ramallah.
Last Friday, Israel imposed a clo-
sure on the West Bank and Gaza Strip
after security officials warned that
Hamas is planning to carry out a
major terror attack against the Jewish
state.
The army chief of staff, Lt. Gen.
Shaul Mofaz, and senior Shin Bet and
Mossad officials have all warned the
Cabinet that militant Palestinians are
planning major terror outrages to
derail the peace process.
Indeed, the terrorists' efforts repre-
sent the gravest danger to the process.
A terror attack inside Israel with
heavy civilian casualties could turn
Clinton's plans to ashes instantly.
It is perhaps the understanding
that this is the case — coupled with a
healthy dose of skepticism based on
almost two years of diplomatic stag-
nation — that has left the Israeli pub-
lic less than impressed by the latest
diplomatic activity.
The Netanyahu-Arafat meeting in
New York on Sept. 27, their first in
nearly a year, left many Israelis unim-
pressed as they made their prepara-
tions for Yom Kippur. And the two
leaders' White House meeting and
photo op the next day with Clinton
was widely dismissed here as the pres-
ident's attempt to demonstrate on
camera that he was still functioning
despite the Monica Lewinsky sex
scandal.
Official spokesmen on both sides
who carefully played down expecta-
tions contributed to a general sense of
wait-and-see.
But one group that is not willing
to wait is the Israeli right.
After his return from Washington,
Netanyahu faced angry hard-liners in
his Cabinet. Rabbi Yitzhak Levy, the
minister of education and National
Religious Party leader, reportedly
warned him at a Cabinet meeting that
if he returns from the proposed mini-
