In the Mideast Arabs and Israelis said they could work with Clinton. "Syria and the Arabs are committed to the peace process, and they expect President Clinton to be an honest broker between the Arabs and Israel, taking no one side against the other," said Syria's foreign minister, Farouk al-Sharaa.
