...intent on this for ideological reasons, and they don't feel they need anyone's permission." 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. A ruffled Arafat was headed to Cairo to discuss the matter with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Beyer thinks the hullabaloo may have a peaceful ending. "The Palestinians are as offended...
...Bible code contained an accurate prediction of the Gulf War before it began. I was not being "defensive" when I told your reporter that I believe the Bible encodes all our possible futures rather than one predetermined future. I was simply repeating what I told Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1994, when I warned him that the code indicated he might be killed in 1995.

He conceded in a covering letter that much of the evidence against Netanyahu came from just one "central witness," who, Israeli press reports say, is Dan Avi-Yitzhak. He was a strong candidate for Attorney General and also happened to be Deri's trial lawyer until Deri forced the Bar-On choice...
...certain to add fuel to the debate whether such areas of occupation are truly necessary to the defense of Israel." This week, Israel's Public Security Minister proposed that Israel unilaterally withdraw from the zone, saying Israeli soldiers were unnecessarily a target for Lebanese guerrillas. While Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai rejected the idea, Stewart thinks that could change. "Israel is a nation whose identity rests largely on its security. But the crash occurred within Israel's borders, without any involvement from Lebanon or Syria," he said. "There is certain to be outrage over what, exactly, these soldiers died for." Former...
