Ehud Barak Slated
To Be Next IDF Chief

Tel Aviv (JTA) — A tough
48-year-old career soldier
who believes Israel has to
talk to its enemies will be
the Israel Defense Force's
next chief of staff.
The elevation of Maj. Gen.
Ehud Barak to the country's
highest military office was
announced after the regular
Cabinet meeting last week.
The much-decorated vet-
eran of nearly 30 years' ser-
vice in the IDF will take
over from incumbent Gen.
Dan Shomron on April 1, the
start of the new military
year, when Gen. Shomron's
term is up.
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir expressed apprecia-
tion to Gen. Shomron for his
service on behalf of the
Cabinet.
The naming of Gen. Barak
elicited no surprise. Gen.
Barak was a serious con-
tender for the position of
chief of staff as far back as
1987 when Gen. Shomron
got the nod.
Gen. Barak was promised
then that he would be seri-
ously considered as next in
line, and his choice was
known weeks ago to be vir-
tually certain.
One of his biggest
challenges will be the in-
tifada, which began at the
start of Gen. Shomron's
term.
Although Gen. Barak is

known to dislike giving
interviews, he has stated
publicly that Israel must
talk to its enemies.
At a recent memorial ser-
vice for the late Moshe
Dayan, who was IDF chief of
staff, defense minister and
foreign minister during his
career, Gen. Barak said,
"We are currently in a
struggle with the Palestin-
ians. A long, bitter and con-
tinuing struggle. A man
does not choose his parents,
and a people cannot choose its
neighbors.
"But we will have to talk
to the Palestinians about
matters, especially about
subjects that are vital to
them."
Drafted into the IDF at the
age of 18, Ehud Barak serv-
ed in an elite reconnaissance
corps and was later trans-
ferred to the tank corps. He
was frequently decorated for
bravery, though many of the
actions he took part in re-
main classified.
Gen. Barak was born in
1942 at Kibbutz Mishmar
Hasharon. He has a bache-
lor's degree in mathematics
and physics from the Heb-
rew University in Jerusalem
and a master's degree from
Stanford University in
California.
He is married and the
father of three daughters.

George Bush, Shamir
Tempering Israeli Anger

Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli
indignation over President
Bush's meeting in Gen-
eva last week with
Syrian President Hafez
Assad has been mollified
somewhat by indications
from Mr. Bush that he will
soon meet with Prime Min-
ister Yitzhak Shamir.
Mr. Shamir is going to be
in the United States on a
private visit next month. He
is due there Dec. 7 and is
now expected to meet with
Mr. Bush at the White
House before he leaves the
country.
The open displeasure that
greeted the news here of Mr.
Bush's talk with Mr. Assad
aggravated speculation over
whether the American pres-
ident would find time to see
Mr. Shamir, whom he has
virtually ignored since the
Persian Gulf crisis began
over three months ago.

The prime minister, expec-
ting a rebuff, reportedly had
asked his aides and Ameri-
can friends to stop putting
out feelers.
Israel supports Mr. Bush's
policy to reverse Iraqi Presi-
dent Saddam Hussein's ag-
gression against Kuwait, by
force if necessary. It has
been understanding, if
uneasy, about U.S. efforts to
shore up ties with Arab
governments opposed to Mr.
Hussein.
But most Israelis believe
Mr. Bush went too far by
meeting Mr. Assad, thereby
endowing with prestige and
respectability a dictator as
bloody and repressive as Mr.
Hussein.
Defense Minister Moshe
Arens said Israel was ap-
prehensive that the United
States might remove Syria
from its list of countries that
support terrorism,
