Description

The "logjam" of this show's title has to do with the collapse of the Wye Accords between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Arafat, under the aegis of President Clinton. These two guests have gone at it before on Firing Line, and Mr. Buckley, as referee, keeps them down to a dull roar. SZ: "Bibi [Netanyahu] got elected not to destroy the peace process but in order to make it work, but he has done that. Every pullback that he was supposed to do was all conditioned on [the Palestinians] doing what they said they would do. But it's not looked at that way from the State Department or the White House...." RH: "The problem with Bibi was that he was unable to keep all the promises he made, because every day he made different promises. He made promises to the United States, he made promises to the Palestinians, he made promises to the Israeli people and then promises to his coalition partners, who were made up largely of right-wing and nationalist forces." WFB: "And they were mutually incompatible?" RH: "They were all incompatible, and finally it blew up."
