...other areas where crucial voting (and fund-raising) groups are involved, though, Gore seems to be running a bit in front of his President. Many pundits--and in private, a fair number of U.S. officials--say Benjamin Netanyahu's government deserves most of the blame for the current Middle East impasse. Pressure to take a tougher line with Israel rose further after Clinton's disappointing meeting with Netanyahu at the White House this month. But the Israeli Prime Minister could hardly have felt much inclination to move after listening a day earlier to Gore's performance before the American Israel...
JERUSALEM: Benjamin Netanyahu came out swinging a day after narrowly escaping indictment on fraud and breach of trust charges. Admitting he made a mistake in appointing the manifestly unqualified Roni Bar-On as Attorney General, Netanyahu moved quickly to consolidate his governing coalition, announcing that he will set up a committee to oversee future high-level appointments.

While many on both sides believe the violence will continue unless the U.S. takes a more active involvement, Clinton said Tuesday he is not prepared to host a Camp David...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Little was accomplished during Benjamin Netanyahu?s two hour meeting with President Clinton to sort through the wreckage of the Middle East peace process, though Netanyahu may have gotten what he wanted from the reporters who were waiting for him when he emerged from the White House session. Refusing to recount his discussion with President Clinton, Netanyahu said merely that "the U.S. has its positions; we have ours" -- then proceeded to hold forth at length on his views in a televised news conference. Netanyahu criticized what he described as the image of Israel as the villain...
