102 Pierce Street in Birmingham
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Defense
Minister Yitzhak Rabin said he
believes that an accommodation
with Syria is essential to an
agreement with Lebanon that
would permit the withdrawal of
the Israel Defense Force from
Leganese soil and ensure the se-
curity of Israel's northern bor-
ders.
According to Rabin, Syria holds
the key to the deadlocked Israel-
Lebanon military talks, now in
their third month at Nakura,
under the auspices of the United
Nations Interim Force in Lebanon
(UNIFIL).
Furthermore, the Israeli de-
fense chief told journalists at a
Foreign Press Association lunch-
eon in Tel Aviv last Friday, an
expanded role for UNIFIL in
south Lebanon after the IDF
withdraws is the paramount con-
sideration, superseding the dis-
pute between Israel and Lebanon
over the role to be played by the
Israel-backed South Lebanon
Army (SLA).
Rabin told the overseas jour-
nalists that the priorities facing
Israel's Labor-Likud unity gov-
ernment, in order of urgency are:
the country's economic crisis;
withdrawal of the IDF from Leba-
non; thawing the "cold peace"
with Egypt; and extending the
peace process with Egypt to Is-
rael's other Arab neighbors.
On the matter of Lebanon,
Rabin drew a distinction between
the military talks at Nakura and
the overlying political issues. It is
essential to bring Syria into the
political negotiations, he said,
"for the simple reasons that Syria
has come out of the Lebanon war
as the most dominant factor on its
(the Lebanese) government. That
might be an unpleasant fact, but
it is a fact," Rabin said.
"We would like to see the Sy-
rian army out of Lebanon but we
have made it clear we have not
made Syrian withdrawal a condi-
tion," the Defense Minister said.
"If Syria would like to continue to
be bogged down in the Lebanese
mud, let them enjoy it." Rabin
added that while Israel would like
to have normal, peaceful relations
with Lebanon, that too has not
been made a condition for Israeli
withdrawal.
He noted that Israel insists on
security arrangements that will
protect its northern borders.,This
does not mean a guarantee that no
Katyusha rockets would ever fall
on Israeli soil. What Israel wants,
he said, is to avoid a situation
whereby Palestine Liberation
Organization forces control terri-
tory north of the border from
where they could fire at will on
Israel, as was the case before the
Lebanon war in 1982.
Rabin also observed, "What we
face in Lebanon today is more a
Moslem Shiite war than a war be-
tween the PLO and Israel. And I
would like to avoid that."
What Israel is seeking now,
Rabin said, was a political agree-
ment negotiated indirectly with
Lebanon and Syria through the
good offices of the United States.
The Reagan Administration's top
Middle East aide, Assistant Sec-
retary of State Richard Murphy,
has been in the region for the past
Yitzhak Rabin
week and is shuttling between
Jerusalem, Beirut and Damascus.
Rabin's stress on UNIFIL's
peace-keeping role is a sharp de-
parture from the position of the
previous Likud-led government.
Israel wants UNIFIL to police the
area of south Lebanon up to the
Awali River, the line now held by
the IDF. If that can be worked out,
the dispute over the SLA in the
immediate border region will fall
in place, the Defense Minister
said.
Rabin noted that Israel is will-
ing to meet another Egyptian
condition for improved relations,
namely progress on the Palesti-
nian issue. Israel seeks to improve
the quality of life for the Palesti-
nians on the West Bank, Rabin
said.
He explained in reply to ques-
tions that since the Arab mayors
and leaders 'in the territory have
placed their fate in the hands of
the PLO or King Hussein of Jor-
dan, "we cannot talk to them
about any political solution in the
area. We can only talk to them
about daily matters."
Rabin said he had told Mayor
Elias Freij of Bethlehem that if
Saudi Arabia or any other Arab
country offered him a million dol-
lars, he could accept it and use it
for local purposes, building
schools or playgrounds or hospi-
"If Syria would like
to continue to be
bogged down in the
Lebanese mud, let
them enjoy it."
Rabin did not expect a rapid
thaw in relations with Egypt
which, he said, is presently intent

Israel worker strike ends
Tel Aviv (JTA) — The 11-day
strike of Tel Aviv municipal
workers ended Sunday, after
weekend negotiations resulted in
the agreement of the commercial
banks to lend the city council an
additional two billion shekels
(some $3.3 million).
Sanitation workers agreed to
begin work during the night to
collect the nearly 80,000 tons of
garbage which had mounted up in
the streets, when they were prom-
ised that their salaries would be
paid into their bank accounts first
thing this morning. The city
workers had gone on strike to pro-
test non-payment of their No-
vember salaries, usually paid on
the fifth of each month.
Mayor Shlomo Lahat has ac-
cused the Finance and Interior
Ministries of failure to appreciate
the problems of the country's met-
ropolis which he says has finan-
cial problems unlike those of any
other city. He noted recently that
while the government could af-
ford to exceed its budget, "We do
not have the facility to print
money when we run short."
Shlomo Lahat
The government asked the
banks to extend the city further
loans while awaiting details from
Lahat how he plans to cut expen-
ditures. He has been accused of
carrying out lavish development
and beautification plans while
having insufficient money to pay
his employees.
