Embassy snag

PRAISING Ehud Barak for his courage at Camp David—and implicitly criticising Yasser Arafat for showing less—Bill Clinton has raised the controversial matter of moving America's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He has always wanted to do this, he said, but has held back because of the damage it might do the peace process. Now, “in the light of what has happened”, he would be reviewing the situation, and would come to a decision before the end of the year.
