Shultz Begins Shuttle Mission on Troop Withdrawal in Lebanon
(Continued from Page 1)
On Haddad, Israel
stressed that without the
major himself in command,
his force would certainly
disintegrate and lose its
military value as a unit
capable of preventing a re-
turn of PLO deployment in
the border areas.
On mutual relations,
the Israelis underscored
their anger at current
Lebanese measures
taken against Israeli
goods and local Lebanese
merchants dealing with
Israel. There have been
cases, Shultz was told, of
goods being impounded
or burned and merchants

being harassed and ar-
rested.
The Israelis pointed out
that they had indicated they
were prepared to negotiate
de facto trade ar-
rangements, bowing to
Lebanon's reluctance to
conclude formal normaliza-
tion accords at this initial
stage. But this readiness
was based on a modicum of
trust — and that was
plainly being eroded by the
Lebanese authorities' be-
havior at the present time.
If this was how Israeli
goods fared in Lebanon now,
it was reasonable to assume
that they would fare even
worse after an IDF with-
drawal, Israeli sources said.
The Israelis also raised
the issues of UNIFIL (Israel
objects to the forces remain-
ing in south Lebanon), joint
IDF-Lebanese patrols'
(agreed to in principle —
but details still disputed),
and legal issues (does the
accord mean -mutual recog-
nition between Lebanon
and Israel?).
But Israeli -sources
made it clear Wednesday
that they regarded the
Haddad issue as of
paramount importance
— and that if this could be
resolved satisfactorily
other matters would sort
themselves out much
more easily.
Israeli sources said
Shultz's questions seemed
designed to look for room for
maneuvering in which he
could at a later stage intro-
duce compromise ideas of
his own.
Briefing local and foreign
media in the wake of the
Shultz-Shamir meeting, a
senior Israeli source was not _
prepared to say agreement
was imminent and seemed
distressed when a newsman
said this was the impression
gathered from the briefing.
But the source stressed
that he did believe an
agreement was certainly
possible. He said both
Shultz and Shamir believed
a lot of real progress had
been made in the talks so
far. I

He noted that Shamir,
at the outset of his meet-
ing with Shultz, had as-
sured the Secretary of
State that Israel wanted
to be "helpful and
cooperative."
Meanwhile, the Israeli
Cabinet meeting on Sunday
was fraught with tension
because of former Defense
Minister Ariel Sharon's bit-
ter harangue against the
U.S. and his scarcely veiled
criticism of his successor,
Arens. Sharon spoke force-
fully against any "conces-
sions or gesture" by Israel in
the talks with Lebanon, im-
plying that the government
leadership might be con-
templating concessions in
order to accommodate
Shultz.
Sharon accused the U.S.
of instigating the Lebanese
government to harden its
positions so that Beirut can
now offer Shultz "conces-
sions" which it had 'prev-
iously made to Israel and
since revoked. The purpose,
he claimed, was to enable
Shultz to extract "parallel"
concessions from Israel.
Most ministers did not
share Sharon's views: "You
talk like Washington is Is-
rael's number one enemy,"
Deputy Premier Simha
Ehrlich told him.
Sharon complained bit-
terly that Israel has taken
no direct action "against
terrorists" of late despite
repeated attacks on Israeli
forces in Lebanon which are
taking a steady toll of
casualties. He said he was
not suggesting any large-
scale action. But he noted
that never in the past had
Israel allowed terrorist at-
tacks to go unanswered.
His remarks seemed to be
aimed at defense chief
Arens who listened quietly
to Sharon but offered no re-
__
sponse.
Israel is expected to
press Shultz for firm as-
surances that Syria will
cooperate in any agree-
ment requiring the with-
drawal of all foreign
forces from Lebanon. So
far, Damascus has given
diplomatic assurances to
the U.S. and other third
parties that it will pull its
forces out of Lebanon
simultaneously with an
Israeli pullout.
At the same time, the Sy-
rians have warned that they
will not accept any agree-
ment between the two coun-
tries that leaves Israel's

Another unknown factor
is the Soviet role. There
have been conflicting sig-

the "withdrawal of all

the Soviets seem to be sup

Defense Secretary Accused
of 'Middle East Roulette'
By RABBI MARC
TANENBAUM
Seven Arts Feature
U.S. Senator Alfonse
d'Amato (R-N,Y.), recently
told a group of Orthodox
Jewish leaders from the
Agudat Israel that
"President Reagan is a true
friend of Israel; not so De-
fense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger. He gives the
President a false view and
seeks to exacerbate tensions
between the U.S. and Is-
rael."
As the Senator indicates,
Secretary Weinberger is
playing a diabolical, and
potentially dangerous game
of Middle East roulette.
During the past few weeks,
Weinberger has cynically
sought to create artifical
confrontations between
American marines and Is-
raeli troops.
I am convinced that
Weinberger has two de-
structive purposes in mind.
First, he wants to precipi-
tate a phony "dual loyalty"
issue for American Jews.
Whom do you support —
American marines or Is-
raeli troops, another ver-
sion of his earlier Begin ver-
sus Reagan propaganda de-
vice designed to intimidate
American Jews into silence.
Second, Weinberger
knows the majority of the
American people support
Israel as a democratic
ally. To - counter those
deep moral commit-
ments, he is now frying to
manufacture deviously
an American-first pa-
triotism issue. He manip-
ulated an American
marine officer to write an
uncharacteristic political
letter charging that Is-
raeli soldiers were abus-
ing and then threatening
American marines.
- What Weinberger does
not own up to is that he has
systematically set about
creating conditions for con-
flict by refusing to allow
_ liaison betWeen American
and Israeli military officers,
and then ordering Ameri-
can troops not to fraternize
with Israeli troops. The
French, British and Italian
troops all maintain such
liaisons with Israelis and
there has not been a single
incident between their
soldiers.
How long will President
Reagan and the U.S. Con-
gress put up with this
dangerous practice?
