New York Times: Rice turning screws on Israel

Published: August 7, 2005   
 
According to a report in the New York Times, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been boosting U.S. pressure on Israel ahead of the pullout.

According to the report, "Rice has been forceful and even abrupt in her dealings with senior Israeli officials, including the Foreign and Defense Ministers, Silvan Shalom and Shaul Mofaz."

During recent meetings, Rice was said to show impatience in the face of repeated Israeli requests for millions of dollars in aid earmarked for the construction of modern terminals on the Gaza-Israel border. Rice reportedly also rejected an Israeli request for American funding for the razing of settlers' homes.
