Assad, said Maoz, also has the ideological advantage of being the last of the true believers in the eventual, in- evitable military defeat of Israel. "While so many other con- frontation states in the strug- gle against Israel have adopted moderation," said Maoz, "Assad still waves the banner of anti-Israel fervor — the true litmus test of Arabism." Finally, the Syrian leader has managed to persuade the gulf states that he is the guarantor of their security; that, because of his ties with Iran, he alone can intercede with Teheran and protect them from Persian rage. "I don't think that is true," said Maoz, "but what matters is that they seem to believe it." Assad travelled to Anunan under a cloud. Indeed, his de- fiance over the Gulf War had created such resentment that oil-rich gulf states were threatening to cut off all aid. Instead, the "Lion of Damascus" returned home clutching an array of glitter- ing prizes. His $2 billion embrace of the Iraqi leader was a vital in- gredient in the summit's suc- cess not only because it signaled an important recon- ciliation, but also because it was a symbolic act. The assembled kings, sheikhs, emirs and presidents had convened in Amman with memories of the Iranian- inspired massacre in Mecca still fresh in their minds. They were concerned about the Gulf War and anxious to avoid a display of intra-Arab bickering at a time when unity has never been more elusive — and more impor- tant. They needed the Assad- Hussein embrace. And they paid for it. As result, they achieved their goal of striking a note of unity, however illusory. The summit resolutions were largely exercises in public relations: Syria is not about to switch sides in the Gulf War, the PLO will not play a central role in any future Arab-Israeli peace pro- cess, and Egypt has not been formally invited back into the Arab mainstream. The resolutions will have little bearing on the critical events in Mideast. But the over- riding need was to establish — and demonstrate — at least a facade of unity. The supreme irony was that the task of rescuing the sum- mit should have been left to President Assad, a man who inspires such awe among his peers—and the single major stumbling block to real Arab unity. CI m••••" ml NEWS len••••=m1 Shin Bet Agents Suspended Tel Aviv (JTA) — The head of the Shin Bet has suspended three of the security service's investigators for lying to a government panel about the death of a young Arab suspect during the suspect's inter- rogation last summer, Yediot Achronot reported last week. According to the report, the Shin Bet chief — whose iden- tity is never revealed public- ly — acted immediately after learning of the cases. He reported the matter to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, At- torney General Yosef Harish and former Supreme Court President Moshe Landau, who headed a government- appointed commission that recently completed an in- vestigation into the conduct of the Shin Bet. In a report submitted to Shamir, the Landau Commis- sion found that Shin Bet operatives systematically resorted -to physical coercion to obtain confessions during the past 16 years and commit- ted perjury before courts and military tribunals in order to conceal their methods and en- sure convictions. Kreisky Admits Waldheim Error Vienna (JTA) — Former Chancellor Bruno Kreisky of Austria last week admitted he erred when he proposed Kurt Waldheim for the office of United Nations secretary general in the early 1970s. The World Jewish Congress reports that Kreisky told a packed lecture audience at a Vienna concert hall that he had failed to gather detailed information about Wald- heim's Nazi past. Kreisky, a leader of the Austrian Socialist Party and a nonpracticing Jew, served as chancellor from 1970-83. Waldheim was elected presi- dent of Austria in July 1986, having served as U.N. secretary general from 1972-82. "I proposed and supported the candidacy of an official of the Foreign Ministry (Wald- heim) for the job of U.N. secretary general who quite obviously had not told the truth" about his past, Kreisky reportedly said.
