Jerusalem (JTA) — Labor
Party leader Shimon Peres
has come out publicly in
favor of "territorial com-
promise" on the Golan
Heights and is urging his
party to endorse that posi-
tion at its national conven-
tion, which opens here this
week.
His unequivocal stand on
the issue comes at a time
when the party is faring
worse than ever in the public
opinion polls and is sharply
split on territorial corn-
promise, the Palestinians
and peace.
Mr. Peres gave his backing
to a policy statement ham-
mered out by the party's
Platform Committee after
lengthy, acrimonious
debate. It advocates both
"territorial compromise" on
the Golan Heights and
"strengthening existing set-
tlements" there.
In practical terms, that
means Labor would be will-
ing to freeze settlement-
building on the Golan dur-
ing negotiations with Syria,
a concession that the Likud-
led government has so far
refused to make.
In media interviews, Mr.
Peres said Israel "must not
go down from the Golan,"
but that does not mean it has
to retain the entire territory,
which it captured in 1967
and annexed in December
1980.
The Likud position, backed
by the Knesset last week, is
that the Golan is not
negotiable and that Syria
will get only peace in
exchange for peace, not ter-
ritory.
Mr. Peres claimed that "as
every child knows," it is
"nonsense" to oppose any
withdrawal whatsoever. But
according to the latest polls,
that is what a majority of
Israelis do.
In another compromise
plank, the Platform Com-
mittee called for recognition
of the "national rights" of
the Palestinians, but
stopped short of endorsing a
Palestinian state.
The recommendation also
omitted a specific ban on
talks with the Palestine Lib-
eration Organization,
demanded by hawks within
the party. It endorsed con-
tinued negotiations with the
delegation of Palestinians
the Israelis met with in
Madrid.
Political observers
predicted bitter fights over
the platform during the
three-day convention. The
1,200 convention delegates
must adopt the platform and
approve or reject a new
system of party primaries to
select its leadership and its
Knesset slate for elections
that are still a year away.
While Mr. Peres said he
was pleased with the plat-
form as is, Labor's No. 2
leader, Yitzhak Rabin, said
the party must adopt clear
positions on the peace issue
which differentiate it not
only from Likud but also
from the "leftist ex-
tremists."
Mr. Rabin, who speaks for
the hawkish or "centrists"
wing, says the party has
veered too far to the left and
blurred its differences with
the "peace alliance" com-
prising Mapam, Center-
p Shinui and the Citizens
Rights Movement.
"What matters is how to
bring the party back into
power," he said.
But Chaim Ramon, the
more dovish chairman of
Labor's Knesset faction, has
accused Mr. Rabin and party
hard-liners of being less in-
terested in winning the 1992
elections than in joining a
victorious Likud in another
unity government after-
ward.
At the moment, Labor is
weathering its lowest public
approval rating ever against
the Likud, according to the
latest public opinion
surveys.
Mr. Peres dismissed the
polls. He claimed they
"reflect the government's
transient popularity" after
the Madrid peace talks and
will change "down the road,
when the real issues will
have to be faced."
Labor conducted a mem-
bership drive earlier this
year, which added about
150,000 new names to its
roster.
The convention delegates
reflect a substantially
younger generation. For
many, it will be their first
convention. Their numbers
include more than 50 new
immigrants.
Although Mr. Peres and
Mr. Rabin have been locked
in a leadership struggle for
years, new faces are emer-
ging to challenge them if the
new system of primaries is
adopted, allowing every par-
ty member to vote for party
leader.
Prominent among the
aspirants are Knesset mem-
bers Ora Namir and Gad
Ya'acobi, and Yisrael
Kessar.
