Of the 30 Palestinians, the U.S. hopes that Israel will be able to accept at least 10 — two of whom will be deported from the territories. But the Egyptians, for their part, have been waiting for the PLO in Tunis to draft the list. PLO Chair- man Yassir Arafat and his closest advisers are said to be having great difficulty reaching agreement among themselves on the list of 30. For the time being, Secre- tary of State James Baker and other senior U.S. offi- cials have stopped pressur- ing the Egyptians for the list. U.S. officials said that Baker was very concerned about the Feb. 7 Likud Cen- tral Committee meeting and the possibility of Prime Min- ister Yitzhak Shamir's hands being further tied by its outcome. As a result, the Americans do not want to do anything right now that might weaken Shamir and overly upset the peace process in advance of the Likud meeting. They are hoping that he will emerge with enough leeway to go ahead with the peace process, including a readiness to accept two deportees in the Palestinian delegation. They are still also hoping for a late February meeting in Washington involving Baker and his Israeli and Egyptian counterparts, For- eign Ministers Moshe Arens and Esmet Abdel-Meguid. State Department officials said that no firm date has yet been set for the three- way meeting since many obstacles remain unresolv- ed. That meeting is supposed to wind up with the an- nouncement of the start of Israeli-Palestinian talks in Cairo. The Americans confirmed that Baker was becoming in- creasingly more prepared to risk the three-way session even if all of the differences have not been overcome in advance. But Baker's aides again strongly denied that the Sec- retary has ever linked the allocation of U.S. funds for the resettlement of Soviet Jews in Israel to the Israeli government's position on the peace process. They also said that Baker was fully committed to re- maining personally involved in the peace effort so long as he was reasonably certain that all sides were serious in their efforts. But the Secretary, by all accounts, is feeling increas- James Baker: Fully committed. ingly frustrated by the very slow pace of the diplomacy. "Don't expect any dra- matic announcements before the Likud meeting," an American official said. The New York Times, in a lead editorial on Jan. 25, called on Shamir and Arafat to "stop making demands they know the other side cannot accept." The newspaper accused both Shamir and Arafat of "poisoning the atmosphere" in the peace process. Specifically, Shamir was condemned for his statement that Soviet Jews should be resettled on the West Bank and for the recent detention of Palestinian nationalist Faisal Husseini. "If Mr. Shamir wants to retain any credibility among Israeli and American moderates," the editorial said, "he will have to drop two demands. First, he cannot insist that the PLO have no role at all in choos- ing the Palestinian delega- tion. Specifically, he'll have to accept as delegates people who live in East Jerusalem and Palestinians who have been deported from the oc- cupied territories for polit- ical reasons as distinguished from those exiled for ter- rorism.
