...domestic troubles when he touches down late Saturday. Israeli security forces fired on Palestinian protesters in a West Bank town Friday killing two and wounding 50. "We haven't seen incidents like this since the height of the Intifada uprising ten years ago," says TIME Jerusalem bureau chief Lisa Beyer.

...from a foreign-policy walk in the park away from his Washington troubles, Clinton's visit to Gaza may be the trickiest trip of his presidency. "His whole investment here is at risk of going down the tubes," says Beyer. "The visit will be hailed as a great success as long as nothing catastrophic happens."

...clears the way for Israeli troop withdrawals. Netanyahu made compliance conditional upon the Palestinians' voting to revoke anti-Israel clauses of their national charter -- something Washington says Arafat's people have already done. "The delays we've already seen from the Israelis suggest that there'll be more," says Beyer. "But at least the cabinet vote has cleared the first obstacle to implementing the deal."
