In the opening Serenade by Elgar, the strings played sweetly enough but without any of the alternating tension and expansiveness demanded by Tate.

Benjamin Netanyahu, who has had his share of trouble with the settlement issue, exploded over the ambush and broke off a meeting with striking union leaders to discuss the decision with Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai. Israel's chief negotiator quickly telephoned Yasser Arafat to assure him of Netanyahu's opposition to the project.
