Several Israeli ministers said they oppose President Clinton’s planned visit to the region later this week. During the weekly Cabinet meeting, a number of ministers questioned the trip’s timing, saying that it could put pressure on Israel to carry out another West Bank redeployment. Other ministers suggested that Clinton’s planned visit to the Gaza Strip would be viewed as giving legitimacy to Palestinian ambitions for statehood.
