MAGIDA Special to The Jewish News A s Allied bombs keep pounding Iraq and ground troops are preparing for battle, seers are looking into the future, trying to make some sense of the Middle East once the smoke clears and the heal- ing begins. Common to all the schemes offered for the region is an Iraq rendered more or less militarily impo- tent — and a settlement of Israeli-Palestinian tensions. New York Times columnist Leslie Gelb revealed that the two tracks Bush Ad- ministration officials are considering to bring peace to Palestinians "will displease knee-jerk advocates of an international Mideast con- ference and give Yassir Arafat a well-deserved dip- lomatic body blow." One track, according to Mr. Gelb, would pave the way for direct negotiations between Israel and Syria; the second and parallel track would consist of "a generous Israeli offer to West Bank and Gaza Strip Palestinians for direct talks. The aim would be to make it temp- ting and possible for Pales- tinian locals to split from PLO headquarters in Tunis." Mr. Gelb considers Israel and Syria to be "the right partners" to begin negotia- tions . . . (since) they hold the key to future stability in the region." The "pivotal question" is whether Syrian President Hafez Assad will negotiate with Israel. Mr. Gelb bets he will since the Syrian is "a consummate strategist whose dispatch of Syrian troops to defend Saudi Arabia shows an apprecia- tion of new strategic realities . . . To rebuild his shattered economy, he can turn only to Saudi Arabia. The Saudis can use this dependence to nudge him toward talks with Israel. And it is to Israel that he must turn to fulfill his dream of restoring the Golan Heights to Syrian sovereign- ty." In the New York Post, syn- dicated columnist Jeane Kirkpatrick says the Mideast's central problem is its "longstanding and deeply rooted habit of violent politics." "The most optimistic fac- for for the post-war world," she states, "is precisely that PLO and Iraqi leaders have been thoroughly discredited by their role in this costly conflict. This fact should weaken the hold of violent politics on the region . . . " After the war, Mrs. Kirkpatrick expects new Pa- lestinian leaders to usher in "a new beginning for a real Arab-Israeli peace process" and for Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to "presumably have a new appreciation of the importance of peace and nonviolence. They, too, just might be ready for peace with Israel." In Newsweek, former Sec- retary of State Henry Kiss- inger proposes an interim solution which would "reduce the amount of ter- ritory Israel is asked to give up in return for something less than formal peace." Elements in the Kissinger plan include: • A conference, under the aegis of the UN secretary- general, of the United States, Israel and Arab states allied with the U.S. in the Persian Gulf crisis. • "Moderate" Arab nations would be trustees for territories returned to Arab control for a specified amount of time. Under UN supervision, these Arab states would demilitarize the territories. Demilitariza- tion would be verified by Israel. • Israel would surrender all of Gaza and the most heavily populated areas of the West Bank, retaining only territory "essential to its security." • Government ar- rangements in these ter- ritories would be established by agreement. For the interim period, the ter- ritories would not comprise a separate state. "As a prac- tical matter," writes Mr. Kissinger, "the trustee powers would undoubtedly establish an administration containing individuals ac- ceptable to the PLO." And the British magazine, The Economist, speaking, apparently, from the van- tage point of wisdom gained from the rise and fall of the British Empire, commented that "the people of the Arab East have done a rotten job, since independence, of building a settled system of nations. The West can help to reverse obvious wrongs, at
