By Akiva Eldar: U.S.: Palestinians need not recognize Israel as Jewish state before talks
Talkback
Title: Finally, an admission by Clinton/Obama Name: Christopher City: Boston, MASS State:
Two days ago, Mitchell claimed that the Palestinians effected the recognition in 1993 with the Oslo Accords. Now, he admits that never occured. To Obama/Clinton, it is OK for the Arabs to set preconditions for the "unconditional" negotiations. But for Israel to demand simple recognition is a non-starter? Time for Israel to tell the Saudi representative to go back home!
