Abstract
In the space of one year, the high hopes for peacefully solving the Israel‐Palestine conflict have turned sharply for the worst. From Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin's assassination to the election of the Benjamin Netanyahu's right wing government to the delaying tactics taken to block the Oslo II Agreement's remaining clauses, the immediate prospects of finally resolving the conflict look bleak. Violence has re‐emerged, as witnessed by the suicide bombings in Israeli cities and by the deaths of both Palestinians and Israelis after the Jerusalem archaeological tunnel's opening in September 1996. This and the Israeli government's decision to construct a new Jewish neighborhood, Har Homa, in East Jerusalem in March 1997, have destroyed what little mutual trust had slowly emerged before the 1996 elections.
