Around 12:20 saw Ted Koppel tell Peter Jennings that he had been "warned" by his European contacts that in a few days the US will come under pressure to reexamine its support for Israel. This was in the context of Koppel talking about the tendency of Europeans (sorry, that's how he put it) to come out with strong pledges of support and then the back away. More or less, "People are going to start asking why this occurred, and they are going to look at what has been happening between the Palestinians and Israel." Jennings then began to shape into the US "taking a more active role."
