"I'm not sure how the public will react, though." Said Kaplan: "I'm glad there is a gesture of trust, even though Israel didn't get as much." Since the two met, they consider each other very good friends. Personal contact isn't always easy, but they speak on the phone regularly. The families got together for lunch at Rishmawi's house near Bethlehem. "My parents called and wanted to meet his family," Kaplan explained. They said the lunch went well, with the parents discussing politics and the teens mulling over the Palestinian cuisine. The pair also gets good and bad reactions from friends. Each went to the other's school for presentations about the Seeds of Peace program. "My friends told me not to make friendships or trust Israelis," Rishmawi said. "I told them I have very honest friends that I wouldn't like to lose. "My classmates met Israelis last year, but I can't go to a friend who hates the other side and tell them to trust them. They have to experience it. The day ended with 15 local Jewish and Arab teens meeting in Southfield to see a presentation about Seeds of Peace and to hear from Kaplan and Rishmawi about their friendship. The local teens said they wanted to continue that kind of interaction. "I'd hope for a long-term thing," said 16-year-old Berkley High School student Marissa Monkman, a mem- ber of the Teen Mission 2 Israel alumni group Come Back/Give Back. "I want to be involved because I get a different perspective on other people's lives." Christina Azrak, a member and former officer of the Ramallah Youth Group, sees great importance in a continuing dialogue. "Starting communication is important because we need to work on the youth to get past all the prob- lems," the 18-year-old Wayne State University freshman said. "The importance is unbelievable." Some of the activities the groups discussed doing together included bowling, sledding and skiing, with one group saying a joint trip to Israel is their end goal. "We'll deal with the culture after getting to know each other," said Chris Ideh of the Ramallah Youth group. ti] The Wye Timetable New York, JTA ollowing is the timetable of actions that Israel and the Palestinian Authority agreed to in the Wye River Memorandum: II Week 1 (Nov. 2-8) • Accelerated final-status negotia- tions begin. • The Palestinian Authority shares its "work plan" to combat terrorism with American officials. • The two sides resume full bilateral security cooperation. • A separate trilateral committee that also includes U.S. officials begins its work to "address the steps being taken to combat terror." • The two sides resume committee work to resolve issues remaining from the Interim Agreement.
