Israel Stand on Retaining Surveillance Posts Is Firm
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Officials here denied that
Israel has softened its posi-
tion on retaining military
surveillance outposts in
south Lebanon after its
army withdraws from that
country.
The officials termed in-
accurate reports that
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir had said Israel
might waive that demand.
Shamir, who is in Wash-
ington for talks with Secre-
tary of State George Shultz,
was reported as having told
the Knesset's Foreign Af-
fairs and Security Commit-
tee that Israel would have to
make concessions to achieve
the withdrawal of Syrian
forces from Lebanon.
Despite the denials, ob-
servers here detect a sof-
tening in the Israeli stand
and believe it will be
given concrete expres-
sion during Shamir's
meeting with Shultz.
The meeting will be
attended by U.S. special
envoy Philip Habib who has
been participating in the
Israel-Lebanon negotia-
tions. Shamir may also
meet with President Re-
agan.
Shamir was reported to
have told the Knesset corn-,
mittee that Israel would
agree to joint patrols by the
IDF and the Lebanese army
to make sure that terrorists
do not infiltrate south
Lebanon.
There was no confirma-
tion of a radio report that
Shamir spoke of joint Is-
raeli, Lebanese and Ameri-
can patrols to ensure secu-
rity and observers discount
the possibility of American
involvement. But they be-
lieve Israel will eventually
be prepared., to forego the
manned surveillance out-
posts if acceptable alterna-
tives are offered.
Meanwhile, the
Israel-Lebanon-U.S.
negotiating teams con-
vened for their 21st ses-
sion in Khalde, Lebanon
Tuesday. No progress
Israel Denies
Any Hostility
for Jordan
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir said last Friday
that Israel harbored no hos-
tile intentions toward Jor-
dan and that none were im-
plied when Israeli leaders
refer to Jordan as the
"Palestinian state."
. According to Shamir,
such remarks were merely a
statement of a geographical
and demographic fact, in Is-
rael's view.
He was responding to a
comment by visiting
Norwegian Foreign Minis-
ter Svenn Stray that Aman
was apprehensive about Is-
rdel's intentions toward the
Hashemite Kingdom.
Shamir told Stray that Is-
rael hoped that Jordan
would join the peace process
within the framework of the
Camp David agreements.
The reward of a thing well
done, is to have done it.
—Emerson
was made on the issue of
the outposts and none is
expected until Shamir re-
turns from Washington.
Israeli sources said there
was progress, however, on
the matter of there was pro-
gress, however, on the mat-
ter of the free flow of goods
and people across the
Israel-Lebanon border and
on the formulation of points
that have been agreed to in
the slowly evolving accord.
David Kimche, head of
the Israeli delegation,
stressed the importance of
normalizing relations be-
tween the countries and
open borders. Israel's desire
