It may also bolster Likud's position among the voters, who appear to be more inclined to resist calls for an international peace conference as advocated by Washington and supported by the Shimon Peres-led Labor party. Early elections may be what Shultz is hoping for. Our Israel Correspondent Helen Davis reports that "with the Reagan administration runn- ing out of time, the Secretary of State may be prepared to push Shamir into an early election and gamble on get- ting a more amenable, more flexible Labor government." But a gamble it is, because polls show that Israelis are extremely cautious about giv- ing up territory for the pro- spect of peace. According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agen- cy, three public opinion polls indicate that Shamir's disap- proval of the Shultz proposals is gaining support. The polls show Shamir's Likud, togeth- er with its right-wing and religious allies, taking votes away from the moderate bloc led by Peres. But the polls also show that the rightist alliance would fall short of a majority and that the current stalemate — a so-called unity government made up of Likud and Labor — may continue after the electios. Shultz began his five-nation shuttle this week after meeting with two prominent American members of the Palestine National Council, the PLO's parliament in ex- ile, against the strong com- plaints of the Jerusalem government. According to Newsweek, U.S. officials have been meeting with members of the PLO for the last 15 years, in violation of an agree- ment that Washington would not deal with the PLO unless it recognized Israel's right to exist. After meeting for several hours in Jerusalem early this week, Shultz and Shamir sought to cast their discus- sions in a positive light. An American official said there was "a sense of some move- ment," but it was clear that Shamir has not changed his mind about opposing the plan. In particular he has voice apprehension about an international conference and he has not accepted the guiding premise of exchang- ing territory for the promise of peace. Shultz has made it clear that he does not intend to force Israel to the negotiating table. "If Israel says 'no, we won't go over Israel's head to an international conference," Shultz told a group of Israeli newspaper editors. "We are too good friends for that." Shultz's low-key method of persuasion was evidenced from his remarks on Israeli television. He sought to downplay the significance of the international format, asseting that the "heart" of his initiative is in direct negotiations between Israel and a Jordanian-Palestinian delegation. He also warned that Israel may be missing an historic opportunity for peace if it did not move towards negotiations with the Arabs. Some observers felt Shultz was seeking to make his case Shultz began his five-nation shuttle this week after meeting with two prominent American members of the Palestine National Council, the PLO's parliament in exile. directly to the people of Israel by agreeing to be interviewed on national television. One Israeli official reported- ly disappointed with Shultz's non-confrontational stance is Foreign Minister Peres, who supports an international conference and is said to have told friends that Shultz let him down by not forcing Shamir to make a clear deci- sion on the proposed peace plan. Shultz was scheduled to visit Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Egypt before returning to Washington by week's end. His visit to Israel was greeted by a general strike by Palestinians in the territories in protest of his visit, and a 50-foot statue of Yassir Arafat across the road from his hotel. Built by militant Jewish set- tlers, the statue included knives, grenades and skulls hanging from the figure's belt, and a sign that read, "Welcome, George." Violence continued this week, following the bloodiest weekend since the Palesti- nian uprising began in December. Two Palestinians were shot to death last Friday and six on Saturday in clashes with the Israeli army in the territories. Haifa police arrested seven Israeli Arabs suspected of having stoned private cars, and five members of Rabbi Meir Kahane's Kach party were arrested after attempt- ing to enter the Israeli Arab town of Umm el-Fahm.
