Jesse Helms opposes George Shultz's push for a peace conference
A Middle East Peace Conference
Has Clear And Present Dangers
JESSE HELMS
In his most recent public comments on
the Middle East peace process, Secretary
of State George Shultz indicated that he
still entertains the idea of convening a Mid-
dle East international conference with
Soviet participation.
According to the Secretary, "all possi-
ble approaches" should be explored to
bringing about direct negotiations between
Israel and Jordan. "All possible ap-
proaches," of course, means acceding to Jor-
danian demands that direct negotiations be
preceded by an international conference
with Soviet participation.
In advocating Soviet participation in
the Middle East peace process, the State
Departmenmt is once again demonstrating
its propensity for sacrificing the American
interest whenever possible.
An international conference is bound to
fail but only after putting the United
States in the position of playing one friend
(Israel) off against another (moderate Arab
States), and gratuitously inviting the
Soviet Union back into Middle Eastern
affairs.
The State Department can give you
some very good reasons why it is in
everyone's interests to convene an interna-
tional conference. For Jordan, it represents
an opportunity to show leadership in the
Jesse Helms, senator from North Carolina, is
the ranking Republican on the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee and a leading
conservative.
Arab community, demonstrate efforts on
behalf of Palestinians, and respond to
American pressures to meet with the
Israelis. For the Soviet Union, it represents
an opportunity to inject themselves into
Middle East politics, gain prestige in the
world community, renew relationships with
more moderate Arab states and divert at-
tention from their occupation of
Afghanistan.
For Egypt, it represents an opportuni-
ty to increase perceptions that it has
"returned to the fold" of the Arab world.
For Syria — if, indeed, it is genuinely in-
terested in participating in such a con-
ference — it represents an opportunity to
attempt to gain some respect in the world
community, divert attention from its
history of supporting terrorism, and res-
pond to pressures by the Soviet Union to
cooperate in its efforts to become, once
again, a player in the region.
For the United States, it represents an
opportunity to mend some fences with
moderate Arab states disturbed about U.S.
arms shipments to Iran. To some in Israel,
it represents an opportunity to secure
restored diplomatic relations with the
Soviet Union.
Yet while each of these parties may have
some interest in convening such a con-
ference, most have an even stronger in-
terest in not seeing such a conference reach
a conclusion.
For Jordan to allow such a conference to
conclude without receiving all of the ter-
ritory lost in 1967 — including Jerusalem
