Zalman Shoval
Yaron has taken steps to
improve relations with the
rank-and-file press. But pro-
gress has been slow — and
hindered by the fact that too
often, the embassy does not
have the answers that
reporters demand.
The diminished role of
Israel's embassy here is
hardly unique in this era
when instant, direct com-
munication between world
capitals increasingly takes
the place of slower, more
genteel modes of diplomacy.
But the Israelis have more
to lose in Washington than
the representatives of most
nations. No other country is
quite as dependent on what
happens in Congress and at
the White House; few other_
nations have so much at
stake in the arena of Ameri-
can public opinion.
Jewish activists here hope
that the purported new
Israeli ambassador, Zalman
Shoval, will be able to carve
out a clearer role for the em-
bassy here and find ways to
reach out to both political
leaders and the media in
Washington.
But for the Israelis, it will
take some fundamental
changes in philosophy and
some creative thinking
about the role of its diplo-
mats in this country. ❑

Congress Approves
Sanctions Against Iraq
Washington (JTA) — Both
houses of Congress have ap-
proved sanctions against
Iraq, including ending $1
billion in Commodity Credit
Corporation credit guar-
antees that was designated
this year.
But under both versions of
the sanctions, President
Bush could continue those
credits if he certifies that
Iraq is in "substantial com-
pliance" with international
treaties that prohibit,
among other things,
genocide, the use of asphyx-
iating or poisonous gases
and the stockpiling of
biological weapons or other
toxins.
By an 83 to 12 vote, the
Senate approved such lang-
uage sponsored by Sen.
Alfonse D'Amato (R-N.Y.) as
an amendment to a
mammoth farm bill.
The House, by a vote of 234
to 175, approved similar
language sponsored by Rep.
Dan Glickman (D-Kan.).
The sanctions follow U.S.
criticism of Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein for alleged-
ly trying to smuggle nuclear
trigger devices from the
United States to Iraq.
"America cannot continue
business as usual with the
butcher of Baghdad," Sen.
D'Amato said on the Senate
floor. "While we have
underwritten Saddam Hus-
sein to the tune of $4 billion
since 1983, he is making
massive purchases of
weapons that threaten to
undermine the fragile peace.
State Department deputy
spokesman Richard
Boucher, however, argued
that the bills "would not
help us to achieve U.S. goals
with Iraq."
John Kelly, assistant sec-
retary of state for Near
Eastern and South Asian af-
fairs, told Congress last
month that such sanctions,
to be effective, require
multinational curbs.
Otherwise, U.S. allies will
jump to fill the void and
American farmers will be
hurt for no tangible benefit,
Mr. Kelly told the Senate
Foreign Relations Com-
mittee.
