Jordan Official In U.S
To Press For Talks

.

Washington (JTA) — Jorda-
nian Foreign Minister Taher al-
Masri arrived in Washington
Tuesday for talks with Adminis-
tration and congressional offi-
cials, In what he said would be a
continued effort to win renewed
American involvement in the
peace process based on the agree-
ment reached last month between
Jordan and the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization.
His arrival in the U.S. follows a
visit last week by Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak who
flew to Amman Tuesday for talks
with Jordan's King Hussein.
Mubarak and Hussein then left
Amman unexpectedly for
Baghdad.
"We have been positive; we ex-
pect the others to take a step," the
Foreign Minister told reporters at
a briefing sponsored by Foreign
Policy, the quarterly magazine.
He maintained that the texts of
the agreement indicated that Jor-
dan had "achieved something
with the PLO," which "needs to be
reciprocated" before any further
Arab concessions could be made.
The agreement concluded be-
tween King Hussein and PLO
leader Yassir Arafat on Feb. 11
calls for negotiations "under the
auspices of an international con-
ference" in which the PLO would
participate as part of a joint
Jordanian-Palestinian delega-,
tion.
Jordan and Egypt have argued
that the agreement reflects a

change in the PLO position be-
cause it accepts the principle of
"territories for peace" on the basis
of UN Security Council Resolu-
tions. The U.S. has called the
agreement "a positive step" but
continues to insist on explicit ac-
ceptance of Security Council
Resolutions 242 and 338, as well
as recognition of Israel's right to
exist, as a condition for beginning
any dialogue with the PLO.
In. Ottawa, Israeli Foreign
Minister Yitzhak Shamir said
last week that the Jordan-PLO
proposals were "intended to con-
fuse and mislead."
"Israel cannot and will not seek
peace at any price as some Arab
leaders propose," Shamir said in
an address to Canadian officials,
parlimentarians and guests
attending the gala dinner of the
Canada-Israel Committee. "They
aim at a peace not with Israel but
to a position in which Israel will
not exist."
Meanwhfle, following his re-
turn to Egypt, Mubarak conceded
that he had failed to convince the
United States to back his peace
plan. He experienced a similar
lack of success with French
President Francois Mitterand,
whom he met before going to
Washington, and with Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher of
Britain and Chancellor Helmut'
Kohl of West Germany on his way
back. They, in effect, wished him
luck in his peace efforts but of-
fered no commitments of support
for his plan.

Uruguay Embassy Move
Opposed By Mubarak

New York (JTA) — Uruguay is
ready to move its embassy in Is-
rael to Jerusalem, the World
Jewish Congress reported Tues-
day.
American Jewish leaders
meanwhile, told Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak during
their meeting last week that they
were not happy with Egyptian ef-
forts to block the move, according
to the WJC.
Uruguay, like the majority of
nations having diplomatic rela-
tions with Israel, currently main-.
tains its embassy in Tel Aviv. Fol-
lowing the recent election of a
democratic regime in Uruguay,
the government privately indi-
cated through diplomatic chan-
nels that it would soon transfer its
embassy to Jerusalem.
Last year, Costa Rica and El
Salvador transferred their em-
bassies from Tel Aviv to the Is-
raeli capital. At the time, the
Egyptians responded sharply,
first with warnings against the
embassy transfers and then with
a break in diplomatic relations
with both Central American
courftries. ti
The Uruguayan Ambassador in
Cairo was summoned to the Egyp-
tian Foreign Ministry earlier this
month, where he was warned that
the placement by Uruguay of its
embassy in Jerusalem would lead
to rupture of relations with Cairo,
a WJC spkesman said.

,

"During last week's meeting in
Washington between President
Mubarak and two dozen Ameri-
can Jewish leaders, the Egyptian
president was asked to comment
on this regrettable development,"
according to Frieda Lewis, chair-
man of the WJC American Sec-
tion, who was at the meeting.
Mubarak reportedly sought to
play down the incident and re-
called the exchange of letters on
the subject of Jerusalem between
former Prime Minister
Menachem Begin and the late
President Anwar Sadat. Mubarak
said that the sensitivities of all
parties regarding the Jerusalem
issue had led the two former lead-
ers to agree that the problem-
should be left for the end of the
peace process. This, he said, ac-
counted for the Egyptian response
to any action which was seen as
affecting the status of Jerusalem.

pian Jews are now studying at Tel
Aviv University after having
attended special preparatory
courses, ands, another 11 are now

"mehina" course to bring them up
to required standards.
