President Clinton said he is “prepared to invest as much time as it takes” to get Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to break the 19-month deadlock in their negotiations. The president is expected to meet with the two at the Wye Plantation, a conference site in eastern Maryland. Clinton said he asked the two to clear their schedules for a “couple of days” to work on reaching an agreement and paving the way for the long-delayed final-status negotiations.
