Israelis Go ‘Over Condi's Head' On New Mideast Peace Proposals - March 27, 2007 - The New York Sun: "Israeli officials have spoken to a top White House official in recent days, using friendly Washington contacts to go 'over Condi's head' to describe several of her new ideas as unrealistic, a Jerusalem source, who declined to be identified, told The New York Sun.

Specifically, according to three officials involved in this week's flurry of diplomatic activity in Washington, Jerusalem, Arab capitals, and the United Nations, Ms. Rice intended to intensify her shuttle diplomacy between Israeli and Palestinian Arab leaders, in an attempt to get them to start negotiating 'final status' issues."
