U.S. Middle East envoy Dennis Ross met separately with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Referring to President Clinton’s upcoming visit to the region, Ross said Clinton will “put things back the way they ought to be.” Ross’ shuttle diplomacy came as Netanyahu spokesman David Bar-Illan said Israel is unlikely to carry out a further West Bank redeployment next week. Israeli leaders from all sides of the political spectrum are saying Netanyahu must abandon the Wye accord if he is to have any hope of holding his coalition together.
