Clinton visit triggers a new 'intifada.'

Article Abstract:

President Bill Clinton's forthcoming visit to Gaza, Gaza Strip, where he will address members of the Palestinian National Council, will be widely seen as bringing the US close to de facto recognition of a Palestinian state. However, most of the 1 million Palestinians in Gaza are cynical about Clinton's visit. They point out that the economy in Gaza and the West Bank is very weak and that they are still under very strong pressure from the Israelis.
