Hansen, Owner Jim Jones Designer Mark Cetnor Hoiliculturalist NEWS Israeli decision in 'few weeks' on withdrawal from Lebanon Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel will decide in the next few weeks on the withdrawal of its forces from Lebanon, Premier Shimon Peres said in an interview. published Sunday. He said the withdrawal process itself, once begun, would take six to nine months. Peres told the Jerusalem Post it was incorrect to speak of negotia- tions between Israel and Syria. The two countries have reached tacit understanding in the past when the Syrians perceived it to be in their interest and the same could be the case now with respect to south Lebanon, Peres said. He noted that Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin is engaged in a broad review of Israel's deploy- ment in Lebanon, parallel to on- going diplomatic efforts. Richard Murphy, the U.S. Assistant Sec- retary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs, has re- turned to Washington following a week of what he called "explorat- ory talks" in the region. Murphy conferred with Israeli leaders last week after meetings with President Amin Gemayel of Lebanon in Beirut and Syrian President Hafez Assad in Damas- cus. He may return to the Middle East'shortly to continue his dip- lomatic mission, sources in Israel said. U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz said Monday that an Is- raeli withdrawal from south Lebanon is not likely to take place soon. He said that the outcome of Murphy's mission showed that there was "a long way to go" be- fore an agreement on Israeli pull- out from south Lebanon could be reached. Addressing a luncheon in honor of the Gulf cooperation Council in New York, Shultz said that Mur- phy's mission had not progressed enough to allow the United States to mediate between Israel and the Syrians and the Lebanese. Shultz said, "There is no ques- tion about the fact that Israel wants to withdraw as promptly as it can, that it makes that with- drawal not contingent on Syrian withdrawal, as at one time had been the case, and that both Syria and Israel, as well as Lebanon, are talking in terms of an expanded UNIFIL mandate, although just what that means and what role it would play is part of the problem here." UNIFIL is the United Nations Interim force in south Lebanon whose mandate is up for renewal later this month by the U.N. Se- curity Council. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir of Israel met with Murphy Tuesday, to hear his re- port on his meetings in Damascus and Beirut. At the United Nations on Mon- day, Syria sharply attacked Israel and the United States, charging that the alliance between them was the main obstacle to a Middle East settlement. Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk Al-Shara said the U.S. policy of arming Israel and giving it economic aid only encouraged Israeli "aggression." He said Is- rael's settlement policy was aimed at uprooting Arab inhabi- tants by Jewish settlers, "utiliz- ing both the Torah and the Nazi doctrine of security." Al-Shara claimed that the Micl dle East is the most dangerous place in the world today, threatening international peace and security. He said his govern- ment believes that a just peace in the Middle East would be achieved through an interna- tional Middle East peace confef- ence. Syria welcomes the recent Soviet proposals in that direction, he said. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko called for such a conference in his speech to the General Assembly last week. The Syrian Foreign Minister- 1 said the rejection by the United States and Israel of an interna- tional peace conference for the Middle East showed their con- tempt for the will of the interna- tional community. The General Assembly was also addressed by Foreign Minister Taher Masri of Jordan who main- tained that the Arab-Israeli con- flict could be solved on the princi- ple of "territory in exchange for_ peace." He said this principle was tained in Security Council Reso- lution 242 which satisfies Israel',-.1 demands to live within secure, recognized borders and Arab de- mands that Israel withdraw from the Arab territories it occupied in 1967. He did not mention Jordan's renewed ties with Egypt or King Hussein's rejection of Israeli peace talk overtures. UAHC promotes a stronger relationship with Christian units New York — In a major inter- religious effort, Reform Jewish congregations across the country I are strengthening their relatior- ships with Christian groups, par- ticularly black churches, it was announced earlier this month by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, representative body of Reform Judaism. UAHC president Rabbi Ale- x-ander M. Schindler said, "The Reform movement intends to renew and deepen its relation- ships with the Christian commu- nity — black and white — because the alternative is a new wave of demagoguery that will thrive on divisiveness." Rabbi Schincler noted that thy: interfaith effort "is the direct out- growth of a resolution adopted by our board of trustees in May cal- ling for a 'coalition of conscience' with the black community." That resolution urged Reform Jewish congregations "to a program of dialogue with black churches and other representa- tive black organizations, to invite local black officials to speak in our synagogues as part of a continu- ing effort to establish closer ties' with them, and to undertake on- going programs to assert our common concerns and interpret our differences in an atmosphere of friendship and understanding."
