Election News
Bad For Israel

Jerusalem (JTA) — The
s_lccess of the pro-Iranian
Hezbollah and the Syrian-
backed Shi'ite Amal move-
ment in Lebanese elections
this week bodes poorly for
the Israeli presence in
southern Lebanon.
The situation in the region
has been shaky, reflecting
the old internecine fights
that characterized much of
Lebanon until Syrian con-
trol became a way of life for
most of the country.
Whereas the rest of Leb-
anon is relatively calm, be-
cause of Syrian domination
over local militias, southern
Iiebanon is still torn by ten-
sions between Israel and its
Christian loyalists and sup-
porters of the Shi'ite Moslem
militias.
Questions about where
southern Lebanon is headed
were being asked intensely
this week amid speculation
over an eventual peace
agreement between Israel
and Syria. Residents of
southern Lebanon have no
doubt that such an agree-
ment would include their re-
gion.
Yosef Hadass, head of the
Israeli team negotiating
ith Lebanon, has stated at
the peace talks in Washing-
that Israel recognizes
the international boundaries
between the two countries
and that, in principle, it is
ready to withdraw once
,necessary security ar-
rangements have been com-
leted.
For local residents, this
- signaled a fait accompli,
leaving only the question of
'the timing of a withdrawal
to be answered.
The deteriorating security
s ituation in the region was
the reason for Israel's most
controversial war — the one
in Lebanon begun 10 years
ago. And the ensuing estab-
lishment of Israel's security
zone in the south was a
reflection of common inter-
ests between Israel and the
local inhabitants at the
time.
Such interests still exist,
but they are much weaker
than in the past. Gen. An-
toine Lahad, commander of
c,ne Israeli-backed South
Lebanon Army, failed to
persuade residents to join
the widespread Christian
boycott of the elections.
Fear of the Shi'ite
militants has become
`conger than fear of the
Israelis and their supporters
— stronger even than the
economic benefits gained by
Israel's presence in Lebanon.
