Arens Says U.S.-Israel Tie Strong
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Moshe Arens, Israeli am-
bassador who was named to
succeed Ariel Sharon as de-
fense minister, said that the
"fundamental basis of
friendship and alliance be-
• tween Israel and the U.S. is
very strong and will con-
tinue to' be strong."
Speaking on NBC-TV's
► "Meet the Press" Sunday,
Arens said those in Israel
and the U.S. who are in
positions to influence these
- ties should work toward
"strengthening
these
bonds."
The envoy conceded that
Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger rejected the
"framework" for an agree-

ment worked out between
the U.S. and Israel for the
exchange of weapons and
technological information
Israel had learned during
its operation in Lebanon.
But he noted that such
an agreement was ap-
proved after the 1967
Six-Day War and the 1973
Yom Kippur War and
"We will have such an
agreement again."
The
lessons
and
technological information
derived from the Lebanese
operation are important to
the U.S. and the West,
Arens said.
He denied that the Israeli
conditions were "too -tough"
as claimed by Weinberger
in- vetoing the agreement.
Arens said the Israeli condi-
tions were aimed at ensur-
ing that there is a
"minimum risk" that the in-

formation fall into Soviet

Arens denied reports that
after President Reagan pro-
posed his Sept. 1 peace in-
itiative, he recommended
that Israel agree to
Reagan's request for a
freeze on settlement ac-
tivity on the West Bank. He
said that the Jewish settle-
ments contain less than
three percent of the popula-
tion of Judea and Samaria
and that cannot be an obsta-
cle to peace.
He noted that during
the 19 years that King
Hussein of Joran ruled
the West Bank, there
were no settlements and
Hussein still 'refused to
negotiate with Israel.
The "pattern" for estab-
lishing peace was estab-
lished by Israeli Premier
Menahem Begin and the
late Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat, "direct face-
to-face talks without pre-
conditions," Arens stressed.
"That's what it takes to pro-
duce peace in the Middle
East."
But Arens saickthat peace
as he sees it means "Jews
and Arabs living together,"
including in Judea and
Samaria. He said Israel
could never accept the posi-
tion of Jordan that no Jews
can liveron the West Bank.
He noted that before
1948, there were Jewish
settlements there, but after
the War of Independence
Jordan destroyed all the
Jewish settlements on the
West Bank as well as the
Jewish quarter of the Old
City of Jerusalem. He noted
that even-today Jordan
doesn't allow Jews to live in
its territory.
On_ Lebanon, Arens
said negotiations are now
being carried out in "very
good spirits." But he said
these negotiations are
very "difficult and com-
plicated" and urged "a
good dose of patience." e
He said there was no use
for the U.S. and Israel try-
ing to criticize each other
over events in Lebanon
since both had the same ob-
jectives there. These are
that "Lebanon is not again
the base of terrorist ac-
tivitiy against Israel and
that Lebanon again be-
comes an independent free
country," Arens said.
He added it would be "a
terrible mistake" for the Is-
raeli army to leave Lebanon
and then find the PLO has
returned. He said this
would result in the end of
,Lebanon and the end of sta-
bility in the area.
However, Arens ,stressed
that in the "final analysis"
an agreement in Lebanon
depends on "Syria being
ready to leave Lebanon.
That's not at all clear at the
present time?'
Vice President George
Bush also discussed
Lebanon in an interview
on CBS-TV's "Face the
Nation" program. Stres-
sing that Israel is "a
strategic ally," Bush said
that the present U.S.-
Israel differences will

improve with the with-
drawal of all foreign
forces from Lebanon.
"We want those forces
out," Bush said. "That
means Syrians . . PLO
fighters . . . Israelis." He
said he believes Begin
realizes the "urgency" for
accomplishing this.
Bush said the withdrawal
of all foreign forces is neces-
sary for "Lebanon to be
Lebanon . . . reconstituted,
free, controlling its own de
stiny." He said once this is
accomplished, attention can
be turned to seeking a "solu-
tion to the age old Palesti-
nian question."
Bush refused to say
whether the U.S. has agreed
to send in more marines to
Lebanon as has been re-
ported. He said the U.S. is '
working with other coun-
tries in an effort to do what
is necessary to solve the
situation in Lebanon.
