israarClosely Eyes Syria

Jerusalem (JTA) — Premier
Shimon Peres told a meeting of
Israeli editors that Israel is
keeping a close watch on de-
velopments along its northern
borders, but has no intention of
escalating the situation with
Syria.
• Health Minister Mordechai
Gur, a former chief of staff, dis-
cussed recent events during a
recent tour of northern Israel.
He said Israel should not react
to the movement of Syrian mis-
siles.
"We are stronger than the Sy-
rians and they know that," he
said. • "Therefore we shouldn't
panic whenever they move their
missiles and make the entire
region nervous."
Meanwhile, Israeli officials
were quick to express surprise '
over a report in the London- _
based Jane's Defense Weekly
that Syrian forces were poised to
attack Israel on the Golan
Heights. •
Their prompt reaction was in-
tended to defuse the tension
that the report itself could
Create.
Officials admitted thtt there
has been am escalation of ten-
sion in recent weeks since the
Syrians moved Sam-2 surface-
to-air missiles close to their bor-
der with Lebanon, posing a po-
tential threat to Israel's recon-
naisance flights over Lebanon.
But this situation is hardly new.
Israel has already conveyed a
warning to Damascus, through
the U.S., and the U.S. itself has
cautioned both sides to exercise
restraint.
In a related development, the
Defense Ministry appeared to
join the ongoing fray between
Premier Peres and Vice Premier
Yitzhak Shamir over what prog-
ress, if any, has been achieved
in the Taba talks with Egypt.

A "senior defense source" was
prominently quoted on Israel
radio as asserting that "much
real progress" was made and
that Shamir's dismissive de-
scriptions of the talks were mis-
taken or else deliberately ten-
dentious.
Political observers felt this
statement by the unnamed de-
fense source signified Rabin's
decision to put his full weight
behind the premier in the battle
over Taba, a battle between
Labor and Likud which has
sharply intensified in recent
weeks.
Shamir told the Knesset
Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee that the only points
agreed upon with the Egyptians
were that the arbitration be
held in Geneva and that it be
conducted in the English lan-
guage.
• It also was learned that King
Hussein of Jordan is determined
to go ahead with the peace pro-
cess, according to Rep. Stephen
Solarz (D-NY), a member of the
House Foreign Affairs Commit-

tee.

Solaxz, who arrived in
Jerusalem from Jordan where
he met with Hussein, told Pre-
mier Peres that the Jordanian
ruler seeks to advance the peace
process in an international
forum which would serve as the
•framework for direct negotia-
tions with Israel.
In Bethelehem, Peres and
several Cabinet ministers at-
tended the annual Christmas
Eve reception given by Mayor
Elias Freij of Bethlehem.
Peres spoke optimistically of
the "air of peace" blowing in the
region and expressed hope that
direct negotiations will be
achieved in the coming year be-
tween Israel and moderate
Palestinians.
