Mideast Peace Talks Begin Tomorrow at Camp David
JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN ANCHOR: Recapping our top story, the Israeli and Palestinian leaders meet at the U.S. presidential retreat, Camp David, Tuesday for a crucial peace summit. CNN's Jerusalem correspondent Jerrold Kessel joins us now with an update -- Jerrold.</s>JERROLD KESSEL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Judy, I think one of the factors that hasn't been factored to whether this summit will prove to be make or break -- as it's been billed -- is the turmoil in the Israeli political system, and whether Ehud Barak, as result of this, coming through it not unscathed, will be even more determined than ever to go ahead for some kind of a clinching deal. Or will he be more reticent? We don't know the answer to that. The Palestinians are certainly looking to that. They will be seeking to gage in the first, literally, day or two of Mr. Barak and what he has to present; to see his mindset of whether he's determined to go for it. I think, in the first couple of days, there will be indications of whether this is a clinching summit or perhaps just a fake one.</s>WOODRUFF: That's right, huge turmoil for him back home in Israel. Jerrold Kessel, thanks very much.
