...relations with non-Arab nations in the Middle East. But Jerusalem was dismayed at the Administration's allegation that Israel was also involved in the transfer of funds for the contras.

"I really believed the Palestinians were ready to live in peace with us,"she says. Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin invited her to attend the Washington signing ceremony with him, but at the last minute she pulled out, unable to face the idea of meeting Arafat. After seeing Rabin off at the airport, she returned to Nahariya and placed olive branches on the graves of her daughters and husband. Rabin...
