The Man in the Middle.(Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri)(Brief Article)(Interview)
Lebanon's Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, who came to Washington last week to meet with President George W. Bush, is walking a tightrope at home. While he tries to make Lebanon prosper, he must deal with Syria, which has troops stationed in his country and backs the guerrilla group Hizbullah-- bent on pressuring Israel from south Lebanon. Last week Newsweek's Lally Weymouth talked with Hariri. Excerpts:
WEYMOUTH: How did your meeting with President Bush go?
HARIRI: It went well. My impression is that the president is keen to see peace in the Middle East and wants to encourage moderate governments that are working hard to achieve [it]. He said if there is an impression in the area that he is not as committed to peace as the previous administration, this impression is not correct.
Didn't you think that former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak made a generous offer to the Palestinian Authority and that Yasir Arafat made a mistake by rejecting it?
We are a small country and Israel doesn't respect United Nations resolutions... [But] I believe the mood in the Arab world since Madrid has shifted from not believing in peace to believing in peace.
How much more can Israel give than 95 percent of the West Bank, all of Gaza, parts of the Jordan Valley and much of East Jerusalem?
Let me ask you a question, why 95 percent, not 100 percent?
