Peres States Opposition
To Imposed Settlement
Washington — Israel For-
eign Minister Shimon Peres
said on Sunday that he would
accept an international con-
ference on resolving the
Mideast crisis only if it opens
the way for negotiations be-
tween Israel and Arab
countries.
Speaking on ABC-TV's
"This Week With David
Brinkley," Peres said, "I
wouldn't go for any con-
ference that has the right to
impose a solution or to
replace us in the negotia-
tions."
Also appearing on the news
show was former Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger, who
said he had "grave doubts
about an international con-
ference" or about Soviet par-
ticipation in such a con-
ference "unless the Soviets
Peres: Direct negotiations.
are willing to ask of their
Arab friends what we are go-
ing to propose to our Israeli
friends."
Kissinger said such a con-
ference would work only if the
U.S., the Soviet Union, and
Israel agreed in advance on
the broad outlines of the out-
come of the conference.
Without this, he said, the
Soviets would support the
radical Arabs and the United
States would be in the posi-
tion of imposing a solution on
Israel or ending up in "isola-
tion."
Peres and Defense Minister
Yitzhak Rabin, another guest
on the show, said the current
unrest in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip cannot be solved
by military means. The poli-
tical route, they said, offers
the only resolution.
Rabin defended Israeli ar-
my actions aimed at stemm-
ing the rioting in the ter-
ritories. "Our policy is to
meet violence with violence,"
he said. He explained that
Israel uses sticks and bullets
only when tear gas and other
non-lethal means do not
work.
He denied that Israel had
adopted a policy "of bone-
breaking, of beating as
punishment." Soldiers who
commit such unauthorized
acts are immediately in-
vestigated, he said.

Aid To Israel:
$3 Billion
Washington — The State
Department announced last
Thursday that the United
States intends to give Israel
$3 billion in fiscal year 1989.
Deputy Secretary of State
John Whitehead said the
department had considered
lowering aid to Egypt and
Israel. Budgetary con-
straints, he said, had forced
the department to complete-
ly eliminate aid to some
countries.
Israel is designated to
receive $1.8 billion in military
aid and $1.2 billion in
economic aid in 1989. These
are the same levels of funding
as in the 1987 and 1988 fiscal
years. The 1989 funding level
was approved by Congress
last year, when it concurrent-
ly set foreign aid levels for FY
1988 and 1989.
The State Department des-
ignated $5.3 billion to Egypt
and Israel in 1989, in keeping
with Congress' decision to
provide both countries with
that amount.
Whitehead acknowledged
that "some thought" had
been given to ignoring the
earmarking of $5.3 billion to
Egypt and Israel, although
"there would be little sym-
pathy for that reduction in
Congress."
Egypt and Israel's need for
U.S. aid is "very great," he
said, since both countries'
economies are "fragile."
