Israel's government, deeply split over
the Mubarak peace initiative, may wait
until after the Jewish holidays before
determining its response.

el Aviv — In Israel,
Rosh Hashanah is not
only a religious
festival; it also marks the
beginning of a month-long
season of manyana, a time
when activity is suspended
and business gets put off. Try
to get your house painted,
your teeth cleaned or your let-
ter to the mayor's office
answered and you will be told
that it will be dealt with pro-
mptly, "after the holidays," —
meaning after Simchat
Ibrah, three weeks hence.
The same dynamic works in
politics. For the time being, it
is helping to hold together
Israel's tenuous government
of national unity, which is
deeply split over the recent
diplomatic initiative of Egyp-
tian President Hosni
Mubarak.
Mubarak wants Israel to
meet with a delegation of
Palestinians, • selected by
Egypt after consultation with
Israel and "various
elements" — a euphemism for
the PLO. At that meeting,
Israel would present the
Shamir-Rabin plan, adopted
last May, for elections in the
West Bank and Gaza, follow-
ed by negotiations with the
elected Palestinians on an in-
terim arrangement in the ter-
ritories. The Palestinians
would, in Mubarak's view,
come to the table on the basis
of his "ten-point program,"
which includes a freeze on
Jewish settlement in the
West Bank and Gaza, the
right of East Jerusalem
Arabs to take part in the
voting, and an Israeli accep-
tance of a land-for-peace
formula.
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir and his Likud Party
are sharply opposed to the
Mubarak plan. Following a
meeting last week between
Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin and Mubarak, Shamir
warned the Labor Party that
accepting the Mubarak plan
could cause a break-up of the
government. "Unity is impor-
tant," said the Prime
Minister, "but not at any
price."
Labor Party leaders re-
sponded by saying that they
favor the proposal as a means

to break the present diplo-
matic stalemate. "The
Mubarak initiative is the
only means for advancing the
Israeli election plan," said
Yitzhak Rabin, after return-
ing from Cairo. Labor leaders
said that they did not want to
see a breakup of the govern-
ment, but would be prepared
to go to new elections if there
was no movement. "The
Likud needs the Labor Party
more than Labor needs the
Likud," party leader Shimon
Peres told reporters during
his visit to the United States.
With the battlelines drawn,
both parties have been trying
to convince the public of their

Both Labor and
Likud have an
interest in
maintaining the
unity government.

positions. Speaking to a con-
vention of lawyers in
Jerusalem, Shamir said that,
"there is no justification for
including Palestinian dele-
gates from outside the ter-
ritories" in the negotiating
team. He explained that by
doing so, Israel would, in ef-
fect, be talking with the PLO,
which will choose the
delegates.
Shamir also argued that in-
cluding non-residents of the
West Bank and Gaza would
represent an acknowledge-
ment that Israel sees itself
obliged to allow Palestinian
refugees living in Lebanon,
Syria, Jordan and elsewhere
to return. "Our plan is not
relevant at all to Palestinians
who live outside the ter-
ritories, and it is unthinkable
that Israel would agree to
what they call 'the right of
return'," he told the lawyers.
In another speech, Shamir
told high school students in
Tel Aviv that, "the land-for-
peace formula sounds inno-
cent, but its meaning is that
Israel will surrender territory
in Judea and Samaria, and
the Palestinians will create a
PLO-led state in the Land of
Israel, and no one agrees to
that."
Labor Party spokesmen
have been equally clear in
support of the plan. On Satur-
day, Minister of Police Chaim
Bar Lev, considered relative-
