should be maintained. Reality requires that Netanyahu and Barak
embark on an Israeli diplomatic drive based on the Arab peace
initiative and serving as a basis for the renewal of negotiations
with the Palestinians and with Syria and Lebanon, and for promoting
normalization with the Arab world. Reality requires conducting
diplomatic talks from a position of flexibility and willingness to
compromise for an agreement, not just to pass the time. Reality
also requires not being dragged into military adventures that
engender enthusiasm at the beginning and disappointment at the end.
If the Netanyahu government conducts itself in this manner, it will
enjoy international support in dealing with its most complex
challenge -- the Iranian nuclear program.
