Rabbi Joseph P. Sternstein, Zionist Organization of America president, reported “considerable confusion” among U.S. Jews on Yamit’s future and called for clarification from Israel. Addressing journalists, he said the U.S. Jewish community is “totally confused and that while all are aware of the delicate nature of the present negotiations, this does not require that confusion be concomitant.” He added, “It is hard to believe that the Israel government expects Americans to go on aliya to Israel and then to go live in Yamit and become Egyptian citizens.”
