"The roots of this latest violent outburst can be traced directly back to President
Clinton's press conference after the breakdown of the Camp David summit. At that time, Mr.
Clinton pointedly,

unprecedented compromises at the summit - more than 90 percent of the West Bank for a Palestinian
state, a partial resolution
of the Palestinian refugee problem and Palestinian sovereignty over the
Muslim and Christian quarters of the Old City of Jerusalem - and that Yasir Arafat had not
responded in kind, or at all. |
