Victoria Munblit, Tel Aviv:
A relative lull was established on the border of Israel and the Palestinian autonomy, which made it possible for US President Bill Clinton and Prime Minister of Israel Ehuda Barack on the night of Thursday to Friday to return to the issue of the resumption of Israeli-Palestinan negotiations, as was reserved for a summit in the Ash-Sheikh charm. So far, the hut has not given an unambiguous answer to the question of whether he is ready to leave for the USA, and if so, when. If the Israeli prime minister agrees to a meeting with Arafat, then he will most likely pay a loss of power for this, because then the opposition will refuse to enter the Government of National Unity and dump the hut with an overwhelming majority over the next two weeks. If the hut refuses the negotiations with the Arafat, he will remain the prime minister, but will doom his country to participate in a long and exhausting conflict.
