President Clinton said Palestinian statehood “can only be settled through negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.” In a letter to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Clinton also wrote, “It is not our intention to second-guess Israel’s decisions on security nor have we done so.” The letter, dated June 23 and released Tuesday, was in response to a May letter expressing concern among American Jews that the U.S. administration was unduly pressuring Israel to move the peace process forward.
