no longer be used as a stag-
ing ground for terrorist at-
tacks against Israel.
- Berman _noted that in
the Oval Office meeting
Reagan emphasized that
the U.S. "suffers credibil-
ity" with the Arabs who
do not believe the U.S. did
not have a role in Israel's
Operation Peace for
Galilee. He said for this
reason the Arabs do not
believe the U.S. cannot
get Israel to do what
Washington wants.
Reagan stressed that his
Sept. 1 peace initiative is
based on "an historic U.S.
commitment- to Israel's se-
curity" and reaffirms the
Camp David Accords which
deems that peace must
bring security to Israel and
provide for "the legitimate
rights of the Palestinians."
He declared that Israel and
Arab leaders must take the
necessary risks for peace.
"It is riskier to do noth-
ing, to let this time pass
with no tangible sign of pro-
gress," he said.
Reagan again called for
"great courage and some
risk" by both sides. "Israel
must be prepared to engage
in serious negotiations over
the West Bank and Gaza,"
he said. "As I stated prev-
iously, the most significant
action demonstrating Is-
rael's good faith would be a
settlement freeze. On the
