White House officials suspect that aides to Israeli Prime Minister EHUD BARAK leaked the draft to the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz to show skeptical Israelis that Barak is bargaining tough and winning concessions.

Clinton aides hope the two will finally start bargaining seriously behind closed doors and stop posturing. "It doesn't instill confidence in your negotiating partners when everything is out in public," says a U.S. diplomat...

He plans to convert his thesis, "Honesty Pays," a psychological and philosophical defense of what he believes is indeed the best policy, into a book for "what philosophers would call the 'ordinary...
...chur is a groundbreaking film. The director is clearly blaming the immigrants themselves, the Sephardic Moraccans, for their problems integrating into Israeli society. Old world superstitions thrive among this self-segregated community in modern Israel. Dov Halfon, the editor-in-chief of Ha'aretz, Tel Aviv's daily newspaper, writes that Sh'chur "has broken one of the central tenets of traditional Sephardic thought: Always blame the Ashkenazis." Thus, the film is at the center of heated debate in today's Israel...
