Jerualem (JTA) — Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir
says he will be telling Presi-
dent Bush and U.S. ad-
ministration officials next
week "things I have not said
before" regarding possibilities
for peace in the Middle East.
In media interviews here
connected with the 10th an-
niversary of the signing of the
Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty,
the prime minister said he
was "working on formulas"
he hopes will achieve
unanimous Cabinet backing.
At Sunday's weekly
Cabinet meeting, however,
Shamir did not respond im-
mediately to demands from
some Labor ministers for a
full-scale foreign policy
debate by the Cabinet before
the premier's important visit
to Washington.
Shamir said he would think
over this request. If he con-
curs, the debate presumably
will take place this Sunday.
Media speculation here is
focusing on how Shamir will
revive the long-dormant
autonomy proposal for the
Palestinians in the West
Bank and Gaza Strip.
Commentators expect the
premier to suggest a broader
and more generous scheme
than that proposed by Israel
when the autonomy talks
with Egypt were suspended
early in 1982. One newspaper
predicted that he will urge
municipal elections in the ter-
ritories, but not a referendum
covering the entire area.
There are no signs of soften-
ing at all in the premier's
determination to continue to
reject any notion of talks with
the Palestine Liberation
Organization — this despite
U.S. Secretary of State James
Baker's statements that such
talks could not be ruled out.
The prime minister's visit
to Washington, meanwhile,
has sharply intensified the
simmering turmoil within
the Labor Party, still smar-
ting from its defeats in the
Feb. 28 municipal elections.
Given party leader Shimon
Peres' weakened position at
the helm of Labor, the widely
held wisdom is that he must
make a dramatic move upon
Shamir's return if he is to
shore up his standing within
the party and among the
Israeli public.
Peres has said he will pro-
duce his own peace plan if
Shamir comes back empty-
handed, as the vice premier
plainly expects his Likud
rival to do.
Elements of that plan, leak-
ed to the news media, speak
of creating some sort of
Palestinian entity in the ter-
ritories. Such a proposal
would represent a fundamen-
tal break from Labor's
longstanding belief that a
permanent solution must be
struck with Jordan.
Haman Award Goes
To Arab Terrorist
Ahmed Jibril, head of the
Popular Front for the Libera-
tion of Palestine, was given
the "Haman of the Year"
award by B'nai B'rith Inter-
national this week for his
"unique contribution to the
random suffering of humani-
ty."
Jibril's group reportedly
has been linked by American
intelligence sources to the ex-
plosion of the Pan Am jet over
Scotland in December, killing
270 people. Jibril maintains
close ties with Syria, Libya
and Iran and is a long-time
rival of Yassir Arafat for
leadership of the Palestine
Liberation Organization.
In early March, Jibril an-
nounced his intention to take
up the Ayatollah Khomeini's
offer of $5 million for the
death of The Satanic Verses
author Salmon Rushdie.
Dr. Harris Schoenberg,
director of UN affairs for
B'nai B'rith, said that while
Jibril was being cited with
"the least coveted distinction
in the world," special mention
in this sixth annual Haman
contest went to the 14
members of the UN Security
Council that voted last fall to
condemn Israel for attacking
Jibril's operational head-
quarters.
