Netanyahu resigns as U.N. envoy; protests Shultz-PLO meeting
To seek Knesset seat
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Tel Aviv
Transcribed from the clipping
Netanyahu "began his election campaign as a militant Likud-Herut hard-liner only minutes after tendering his resignation." He "was denounced for his attacks on former colleagues and the surprise and haste with which he quit his U.S. post at a time when Israel has been under constant attack by the Arab bloc and their allies for its policies in the administered territories." Told that Henry Kissinger had warned acceptance of an international conference meant shoving Israel back to its pre-1967 borders, Yossi Beilin's response was: "So what?"
Context added by this archive
The Jewish press calls him a militant hard-liner, in 1988, in its own voice.
