Netanyahu under pressure as hard liners seek security-linked pullback
In Jerusalem hard-liners demanded linking any West Bank troop pullback to Palestinian security guarantees and PLO Charter changes, threatening to topple the government if not. Meanwhile a spring shooting near Ora killed one Israeli and left another wounded, amid rising militant violence and looming talks with Arafat and Clinton on an Israeli withdrawal from 13 percent of the West Bank. The National Religious Party insisted on conditions before any land handover, while hawks warned they may challenge Netanyahu in future elections if he agrees to a withdrawal without firm security concessions.
