It was the first meeting between the two men around the Cabinet table in several weeks. Peres had returned from a two-day visit to Cairo, where he and his hosts issued a joint statement committing their countries to strive to reach agreement this year on convening an international conference as a framework for direct negotiations between all of the parties concerned. Peres and the Egyptian lead- ers agreed in their joint state- ment that the Middle East conflict should be resolved in all its aspects, including the question of the legitimate rights of. the Palestinian people. Peres said they also agreed that the Palestinian represen- tatives participating in the negotiations must be persons acceptable to all of the par- ties. The Palestine Liberation Organization was not men- tioned. According to mem- bers of Peres' entourage, this signified Egypt's understand- ing that Israel opposes any role for the PLO in peace talks. According to Haaretz cor- respondent Akiva Eldar, who accompanied Peres to Cairo, there is an understanding that Egypt and Israel will begin discussions on prepar- atory talks, with the par- ticipation of others to create a list of acceptable Palesti- nian members of a Jordanian- Palestinian negotiating delegation. Peres ducked questions of an impending Labor-Likud split that could bring down the unity government. He in- sisted the joint communique in Cairo was within the framework of government policy and said he would report on his talks to "the Prime Minister and the Cabinet." Shamir, who returned to Israel from a 10-day visit to the U.S. only hours after Peres left for Cairo, made clear that his opposition to an international conference was as strong as ever. He stressed repeatedly that Peres had no mandate to agree to any un- dertaking on the part of Israel and that whatever resulted from his talks with Egypt's leaders would have to be brought before the Cabinet. Peres, who had two meet- ings with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and lengthy discussions with his official host, Egyptian Foreign Min- ister Esmat Abdel Meguid, told reporters on his return that there was no need for him to bring the joint state- ment to the Cabinet for ratification. He explained, however, that he opposed the idea of an international con- ference as a negotiating forum. The peace talks themselves must be direct, without outside intervention, he said. He said Shamir "has no mandate to reject such a conference." Israel Responds To Allegations In Tower Report Aviv (JTA) - Respond- ing to the Tbwer Commission report, the Israeli Defense Ministry last week stated that allegations against Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin contained in the report were completely groundless. A statement issued by the Ministry said, "The report of the Tower Commission issued in the U.S.„ contains inter alia a memorandum conveyed by Colonel North to National Security Adviser John Poindexter. "According to this memo- randum, the Defense Minister had allegedly offered aid to the Contras in the form of in- structors. This allegation is totally groundless. "On the contrary: it was Colonel North who asked for such help, which was refused by the Defense Minister." Jewish Studies Taught In Farsi New York (JTA) - Fifteen of the 40 Iranian immigrants who are undergraduates at Yeshiva University are taking what is considered the only university-level Jewish studies course in North America taught in Farsi, the native language of Iran. The course on Sephardic religious laws and customs is offered in Farsi "because we feel these students should learn about their own customs in their own idiom," explained Rabbi M. Mitchell Serels, asso- ciate director.
