Kissinger Progress Reported
on Damascus-Israel Shuttle
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Sec-
retary of State Henry A. Kis-
singer returned here from
Damascus Tuesday night
amid indications that develop-
ments in the next 36 hours
will determine whether or not
he succeeds in achieving an
Israeli-Syrian disengagement
accord.
A high official in Kissin-
ger's entourage said that
"considerable progress" has
been made since the secre-
t of state began his Jerus-
m-Damascus shuttle di-
macy two weeks ago. Both

sides are substantially closer
than they were when the sec-
retary arrived in the region,
the officials said. But he
conceded that Kissinger need-
ed some "consideration" by
Israel, Syria or both before
he could bridge the gap and
wrap up disengagement talks.
U. S. sources noted that the
differences between the Is-
raelis and Syrians were
"small in kilometers but
large emotionally." Kissin-
ger and his staff exuded op-
timism and implied that there
was still a chance of reach-
ing an Israeli-Syrian agree-
ment this week. Kissinger
must be back in Washington
by next Monday at the latest
and is expected to leave the
Middle East over the week-
end.
Basic differences were indi-
cated between the Israeli and
Kissinger approaches to dis-
engagment. The secretary of
state has tended to isolate
the territorial issues and con-
centrate on them in the belief
that once they are settled,
every other element will fall
into place. But Israelis find
it difficult to separate the
question of the disengage-
ment line from the question
of buffer zones, limited
forces zones and other se-
curity provisions designed to
protect and stabilize a dis-
engagement accord.
Some 6,000 people packed
Menorah Square in downtown
Jerusalem May 8 in a Likud-
led rally protesting against
any Israeli withdrawal from
territory captured in the Six-
Day War.
Likud leaders Menahem
Begin and Gen. Ariel Sharon
addressed the rally.

the Golan Heights it will be
forced to withdraw later
from Samaria and Judaea,
from Sinai and even East
Jerusalem, Begin claimed.
Sharon directed his fire at
Labor Party leader Yitzhak
Rabin. He said that when
Israel needed a powerful
stand against its enemies, the
candidate for the premier-
ship stated he didn't think
it would be so terrible if Is-
raelis someday needed a
tourist visa to visit the Et-
zion settlements on the West
Bank.
Israeli authorities were
pondering what to do about a
group of Israelis who settled
themselves in the abandoned
Syrian town of Kuneitra on
the Golan Heights in an ap-
parent demonstration against
Israeli withdrawal from the
town. (See story, Page 16).
Premier Golda Meir re-
ceived a personal message
from President Nixon that
amounts to a "strong re-
quest" that Israel cooperate
with Kissinger and do noth-
ing that might lead to the
failure of his efforts to bring
about an Israeli-Syrian dis-
engagement accord, the
newspaper Maariv reported.
The Israel Radio broadcast
an official denial from the
prime minister's office that
Mrs. Meir had received a
message from Mr. Nixon.
But officials at the prime
minister's office told JTA
later that the radio broad-
cast was inaccurate. They
said there was no denial but
rather a refusal to react or
comment on the Maariv re-
port.
According to Maariv, the
message was "as always"
written in a friendly and re-
spectful manner but its in-
tent clearly was that Israel
should cooperate with Kissin-
ger.
Maariv claimed that the
Nixon message and Israel's
appreciation of Kissinger's
understanding of its security
problems were two elements
that persuaded the govern-
ment to agree to pull back
from the 1967 borders on the
Golan Heights.
2 Israeli Soldiers
Wounded by Syrians
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Two
Israeli soldiers were wound-
ed by Syrian shellfire May
13. Syrian artillery went into
action at 7 a.m. local time,
concentrating on Israeli posi-
tions in the southern section
of the Yom Kippur War en-
clave.
Fire was also directed at
the northern section, parti-
cularly the Mazraat Bet Jan
and Tel Shams regions and
the area around Kuneitra.
Israeli artillery and tank
guns returned the fire.
Israel air force jets staged
a 25 - minute attack early May
13 on the "Fatahiand" area
of southeastern Lebanon to
silence guns shelling Israeli
positions on Mt. Dov.
Lebanon admitted several
days ago that its artillery
was participating in the shell-
ing of Israeli positions on Mt.
Dov and Mt. Hermon.
Kuwaiti Says U.S. Is Pushing
Israel 'In Right Direction'
MONTREAL (JTA) — An
Arab diplomat called for dis-
memberment, of the "Juden-
staat" in a speech here May
8 in which he sharply criti-
cized past U.S. policy in the
Middle East but said the U.S.
was now pushing Israel "in
the right direction."
The speaker, Dr. Fayez
Sayegh, the Kuwaiti coun-
selor to the United Nations,
addressed 200 Canadians,
Americans and guests from
abroad at the Rotary Inter-
national convention at the
Queen Elizabeth Hotel. The
meeting was attended by the
consuls of Egypt, Syria and
Lebanon.
According to Dr. Sayegh,
U.S. policy has changed
since the Yom Kippur War
because America felt its
growing diplomatic isolation.
"The U.S. is acting with more
energy today in convincing
Israel that it is in its own
interests to evacuate Arab
lands," he said.
Sayegh said that "there
will be no peace in the Mid-
dle East until 3,000,000 ex-
