- Summary: UNITED NATIONS (SEPTEMBER 18, 2000) (UNTV) 1. WS UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY HALL 0.05 2. SV ISRAELI FOREIGN MINISTER SHLOMO BEN-AMI AT PODIUM 0.09 3. MV DELEGATES LISTENING. 0.15 4. SV SOUNDBITES (English) BEN-AMI SAYING, "I know I may not sound too objective by vouching for Prime Minister Barak, but I have come here with the power of conviction that no Prime Minister before him and let no illusions be harboured. No Prime Minister after him will touch the way he did the outer limits of his options as an Israeli and a Jew. I do not underestimate the dilemmas of Chairman Arafat, this great leader of the Palestinian people and I know the decision is not easy for him either, but this is the destiny of leaders to always be prophets without honour. They should not expect the applause of their constituencies. What really matters is the judgment of future generations." 1.08 5. SV DELEGATION LISTENING 1.14 6. SLV BEN-AMI AT PODIUM 1.21 7. SV SOUNDBITES (English) BEN-AMI SAYING, "But Israel will not compromise, not now and not ever on those security and national interests that we deem vital while building our peace with the Palestinians we cannot ignore security concerns inherent in the fact that peace with the Palestinians is not our last peace." 1.46 8.
