Professors for a Strong Israel

Statement to the Press - 17 November 1998


Re: PSI's activities following the Wye Memorandum

Following the signing of the Wye Memorandum, Professors for a Strong Israel held an emergency meeting at which more than twenty members expressed their view of the current situation. Subsequently, the Executive Board sent a letter to MK’s of the Land of Israel Front, calling on them to act only after the establishment of a united New National Camp. The Board also sent a letter to all members of the Central Committee of the National Religious Party, urging them to vote against the dangerous accord. Finally, the Board sent a letter to the Prime Minister in order to notify him that PSI will not support him if he continues in his current policy. Following that letter, the Executive Board met with the Prime Minister's Bureau Chief, and then with Mr. Netanyahu himself.
