Call The Jewish News 354.6060 Washington (JTA) — The Bush administration plans to send some of the State Department's top guns to Israel next week in the hope of resuscitating the deteriorating prospects for Israeli Prime Minister Yit- zhak Shamir's peace initiative. Reports from Israel said the U.S. delegation would be headed by Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger and would in- clude Dennis Ross, director of the State Department's policy planning staff, and John Kel- ly, assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern and South Asian affairs. But State Department deputy spokesman Richard Boucher said Monday that, while Eagleburger may head the U.S. delegation, there has been no final decision yet. Secretary of State James Baker, at a news conference Monday in Warsaw, also said he is sending "someone" to Israel to clarify Israel's posi- tion on the proposed Palesti- nian elections in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Baker said that Shamir's decision, under pressure from his Likud bloc, to put tough new conditions on the elec- tions plan "give rise in our minds to the question about the seriousness of purpose" of the Israeli government. Clarification is needed "if we are to continue to support" the plan, he said. The United States has been trying to sell the Israeli pro- posal to the Palestinians. But it has indicated that this will be an impossible task if Shamir seeks to impose the conditions he accepted at a July 5 Likud Central Com- mittee meeting. They are that Israel will never give up any territory, that Jewish settlement in the territories will continue, that Arab residents of East Jerusalem will not be allow- ed to participate in the elec- tions and that the elections cannot be held until the uprising stops completely. Baker told reporters last Saturday that if the elections proposal bogs down, "then we would have to look a little more closely at the prospects for an international con- fere nce." Such a conference is anathema to Shamir, who proposed the elections plan as an alternative to a peace con- ference, which would include the five permanent members of the United Nations Securi- ty Council. The new conditions are also opposed by Israel's Labor Par- ty, whose leaders voted Mon- day to recommend that the party withdraw from the government coalition with Likud. The U.S. delegation is ex- pected to press Shamir to restate his original peace pro- posal, in the hope that might prevent a Labor walkout. Boucher said he no com- ment about statements Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yassir Arafat made in an interview with the New York Times, published Monday. Arafat was quoted as saying "the Likud decision means a deadly blow to elections, no matter what the cosmetic fixes they try to put on it now." The Times story said that Arafat repeatedly said that the United States had failed to fulfill its part of a secret agreement with the PLO. Boucher said he did not know what Arafat was talking about. Arafat indicated that he might end the dialogue with the United States, unless more substantive matters were discussed. Boucher said that the United States engag- ed in the dialogue in order to advance the peace process. Cantors Wow Eastern Europe Budapest (JTA) — Five can- tors from the United States, Canada and Israel completed a tour of Eastern Europe with a concert last Tuesday before a wildly enthusiastic au- dience in Budapest's Dohany Synagogue, the largest in Europe. It was the final concert for the group, which arrived here fresh from triumphs in Moscow, Leningrad, Odessa and Kiev. The cantors per- formed both liturgical and Jewish folk music. The tour, sponsored by the American Society for the Ad- vancement of Cantorial Arts and the Gila and Haim Wiener Foundation, marked the first time Israeli cantors sang in the Soviet Union, ac- cording to Haim Wiener of Miami. Wiener attributed the strong response to the chaz- zanim in Eastern Europe "in part to glasnost in the USSR and the movement toward democracy in Hungary.
