1. There have been a number of reports on these negotiations. The most detailed is "A Would-Be Palestinian Pact; Rabin Aide Discloses Details," New York Times, 1 August 1996.
2. It is by no means certain that Egypt would even try to stand clear, for Mubarak has been increasingly warning Israel not to count on Egyptian passivity in the event of the breakdown of the peace process. For example: "Israel will be making the greatest mistake in its history if it lets things deteriorate into a new war, because we won't sit with our arms folded and the situation will become very dangerous." (Jerusalem Report, 12 December 1996.)
3. For example, several recent polls have found that about 50 percent of the Israeli public will agree to the creation of a Palestinian state, provided that acceptable security arrangements can be made. (Jerusalem Report, 1 May 1997.)
4. There has been a burst of scholarship in recent years on ways in which the Jerusalem issue can be resolved.
