Novick was said to have talked last week with members of the Soviet ad- vance party that will accom- pany Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze to Geneva. Shevardnadze and Shultz will sign a treaty there providing for the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. Novick also briefed high- ranking French officials on Peres' approach to Shultz's peace plan and his evaluation of the situation. Novick; who has frequently been sent on delicate diplomatic missions abroad, has met with Soviet officials on previous occa- sions. His latest reported meeting with them comes at a time when Moscow has in- dicated an earnest desire to participate in the Middle East peace process. A case in point was Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's public advice in Moscow to the visiting chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organi- zation, Yassir Arafat, that he should recognize Israel and its legitimate needs, which are no less important than those of the Palestinian peo- ple. Officials here say the Soviets believe that with Gor- bachev's conciliatory remarks toward Israel and their agree- ment to pull out of Afghan- istan, they have bought "their entry ticket" into Mid- dle East peace talks. The Israelis had long objected to Soviet participation because Moscow has no diplomatic ties with Israel. Israeli Accused Of Helping Drug Deals Washington (JTA) — Jose Blandon, testifying in con- gressional hearings on inter- natinal drug trafficking, accused a former agent of the Mossad, Israel's foreign in- telligence service, of helping Gen. Manuel Noriega, Pana- ma's de facto leader, conduct international drug deals from 1982 to 1986. Blandon is former consul general of Panama to the United States. Blandon told the Senate Foreign Relations Subcom- mittee on Ibrrorism, Nar- cotics and International Organizations that the Israeli is Michael Harare, who had close contacts with Noriega and was Panama's honorary consul in Aviv. Blandon said Harare "has business with Noriega in Panama for a series of companies for arms contraband, smuggling to supply arms to Central America and to the counter- revolution, the Nicaragua counterrevolution." He added that the airplanes used to transport the arms "were used for other things." When Sen. John Kerry (D- Mass.) asked, "When you say `other things,' what do you mean?" Blandon replied, "Drugs." Yosef Gal, the Israeli Em- bassy spokesman here, said Harare was "acting as a private citizen" in his deal- ings with Noriega, and that the Israeli government had no knowledge of his activities. Meanwhile, Newsweek reported that Noriega, who is under pressure from the United States to leave Panama, is considering going to Israel, where he reported- ly owns property.
