Furthermore, the new de- fense budget of Syria has been increased this year to $2.4 billion, 54 percent of its national budget. The number of Soviet advisers in Syria has been rising steadily, jumping from 2,500 advisers last year to COMEDY CASTLE FRI., MAY 27 THRU SUN., MAY 29 JIMMY ALECK Harrah's in Reno and "Tonight Show" TUES., MAY 31 WED., JUNE 1 THRU SUN., JUNE 5 NEW TALENT NIGHT PAUL KELLY HBO and LA "Laff Stop"' 4616 N.

These details were given to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency during an interview with Naphtali Lavie, Is- rael's Consul General in New York last week. "The Syrians now have the potential to engage in a new war with Israel," he said. "Common sense says that they should not get involved in a new war, since they lost their (previous) wars with Is- rael. But it is hard to judge their motives, mainly because they act not only on behalf of their interests or the Arab world but they clearly served other interests, those of the Soviet Union." According to Lavie, who served for many years in Is- rael's Defense Ministry, the Syrians are trying to "tor- pedo" the accord reached be- tween \Israel and Lebanon on the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon," through threats and psychological warfare, as they did before the Six-Day War." Syria, the Israeli official pointed out, "has various interests in Lebanon that are not connected with the current presence of Israeli forces there." He noted that Syria never recognized Lebanon as a state and does not have any diplomatic re, presentation in that coun- try. "The Syrians were oc- cupying Lebanon for the last seven years. It is hard for them to accept the fact that it's time for them to leave Lebanon," Lavie said. He said Israel is closely watching Syria. • "Their threat& are not new, we . have been living with them for the. last 35 years, but we are keeping alert to meet any eventuality," Lavie stated. Israel's image in the United States, which was tarnished as a result of Israel's invasion of - Lebanon and further damaged after the mas- sacre of Palestinian refu- gees in the Sabra and Shatila camps near Be- irut last September by Christian militiamen, is showing an improve- ment, according to Lavie. The basis for the .change in the American public opinion, Lavie claimed, is threefold. First, the conclu- sions by the Israeli commis- sion to investigate the mas- sacre re-established Israel's credibility among the American people and the media. Lavie noted, in this regard, that while the com- mission investigated the tragedy and recommended action against top govern- ment and Israel Defense Force officials, the New Position JERUSALEM — Prof. Amnon Pazy has been ap- pointed vice rector of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. own life very often labors in vain. —Samuel Johnson ..•••••... Lebanese government has still to investigate and punish the murderers. Second, Lavie continued, the Arab rejection of the Reagan peace initiative shows that "all the talk about Israel being an obsta- cle to peace in the Mideast is baseless. The Americans have realized that they erred in their attempt to achieve an Arab consensus regarding a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict." The third reason for Is- rael's improved image in the U.S., he noted is the agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon through the mediation of Secretary of State George Shultz. "It (the accord) proved to the world and to Americans that Israel is ready to make sacrifices for peace, as it did when it returned the Sinai desert to Egypt." _dal OPP- Friday, May 27, 1983 33 11011111ERSET • • ••• THERTRE ` • ""`" DinneR • •• detroit's Original dinner theatre •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••: ilifyorto Jimmy Launce PROductions, Inc. • presents • • • • • • PRISONER OF 2ND AVENUE A Neil Simon Comedy • Group Rates & Performances Available Fri & Sat.
