Freezing U.S. efforts to salvage the
negotiations will increase the risk of
`-5 widespread violence that could sink
them entirely. But pressing the Israelis
to move forward with the stalled Wye
implementation will produce new fric-
tion with the Netanyahu government.
Administration officials say they
will have to weigh every statement and
every action with tremendous caution
to anticipate the political reaction in
Israel, and to hope that events don't
work against them.
They can press both sides to
resolve some of the less explosive
differences stemming from October's
Wye agreement, including the
release of Palestinian security prison-
ers, but pressing the Netanyahu gov-
ernment on core issues such as rede-
ployment or settlements will be
extraordinarily risky.
The administration can also work
harder to keep Yasser Arafat in line.
In 1996, Arafat's ambivalent
response to Palestinian terrorists —
some say his active encouragement of
terror bombers — was perhaps the
biggest factor in Netanyahu's victory.
U.S. and Palestinian leaders have
grown closer in recent months; offi-
cials here could use that closeness to
convince Arafat that it would be a big
mistake to try to exploit Netanyahu's
problems to advance his own position
in the troubled talks. LI

Clarifications

The "Meeting of the Minds"
current events group meets at
the Jimmy Prentis Morris Jewish
Community Center in Oak
Park, not the Kahn JCC in West
Bloomfield as stated in a Dec.
25 article, "Locals Study World
Affairs."

The obituary for Cantor Max
Shimansky last week should
have read that he is survived by
"son and daughter-in-law Jacob
Loren and Barbara Shimansky of
Royal Oak."

The side entrance to the Agency
for Jewish Education used by the
Sephardic Community of Greater
Detroit is handicapper-accessible.
