...criticism aimed at Jerusalem is at least in part deserved. At several crucial steps in the peace process, it has been Israel rather than Egypt that has moved grudgingly, split hairs and seemed to shrivel the spirit of the proposed agreement with excessive legalisms. A glaring example is the stubbornness with which the Begin government has pursued its policy of expanding Israeli settlements in the territories occupied since...
What happens to the spirit of Camp David now that the deadline has lapsed? Washington is looking to Jerusalem for the answer.
