Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to Israel under an umbrella of heavy security precautions that were taken to prevent his possible assassination by opponents of the agreement he signed at the White House last Friday. The premier told reporters upon his return that the accord is “the best agreement possible,” adding that as a result of the specific Palestinian steps on security included in the pact “we have plugged many of the holes in the Oslo Swiss cheese.”
