HOW TO SEND IN LISTINGS:
ISRAEL THE FALL GUY
In The Iranian Mess?
(December 5, 1986)
Israel is on the brink of a serious political confrontation with the United States,
according to senior political analysts in Jerusalem this week.
They believe that Israeli involvement in the Iranian arms scandal could propel
Jerusalem into open conflict with the white House, Congress, and most important,
with U.S. public opinion.
This could have wide-ranging and far-reaching implications for future political,
military and economic cooperation between Washington and Jerusalem.
