Washington (JTA) — Presi-
dent Clinton's meeting here
this week with Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak
demonstrated that intricate
diplomacy is essential to
overcome the obstacles to
resuming the Middle East
peace talks.
The Clinton administra-
tion is trying to accomplish
several things at once in the
Middle East, a perpetual
trouble spot that has tripped
up many past administra-
tions.
As newcomers, Mr. Clin-
ton and his foreign policy
team are working to gain the
trust of both the Israelis and
the Arabs. But at the same
time, the administration has
made a resumption of the
peace talks a high priority,
and that has required some
diplomatic prodding.
So far, the Israelis are the
only Middle East party to
accept the joint U.S.-Russian
invitation to return for a
new round of talks here
April 20.
While Syria and Jordan
appear ready to resume
negotiations, the Palestin-
ians, still embarrassed by
Israel's expulsion in
December of 415 Moslem
fundamentalists from the
administered territories, do
not want to return to the
talks without exacting some
concessions from Israel.
Under a compromise
worked out in January bet-
ween Israel and the United
States, Israel agreed to
return 100 of the dep6rtees
immediately and the rest by
the end of the year. But that
was not acceptable to the Pa-
lestinians, who demanded
that all be returned immedi-
ately.
Prior to his meeting with
Mr. Clinton, Mr. Mubarak
had said he would ask the
president to press Israel to
make further concessions on
the deportee issue that could
persuade the Palestinians to
return to the talks.
But Mr. Clinton announc-
ed following the meeting
that the Israelis had done
enough and that he would
not pressure them further.
At a joint news conference
following his meeting with
Mr. Mubarak, Mr. Clinton
said Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin had "taken a
very forthright and open
stand in trying to reach out
to the Palestinians and to
the other parties, and I

believe that it's enough to
get people back to the table."
This comment was consis-
tent with previous ad-
ministration statements
refraining from pressuring
Israel, an attitude that has
pleased Jewish groups.
But, while not leaning on
Israel, the administration
has continued to negotiate
with all the parties.
Washington reportedly
has offered the Palestinians
a package of concessions,
conditioned on a Palestinian
agreement to return to the
talks.
Assistant Secretary of
State Edward Djerejian told
Arab journalists in Cairo via
satellite that "a very signifi-
Israel agreed to
return 100
deportees.
cant package of statements,
gestures and actions has
been elaborated which could
and will come into play as
soon as the Palestinians
make a positive decision to
come to the round on April
20."
State Department officials
would not comment on the
specifics of the offer. But the
United States reportedly has
asked Israel to consider
allowing Jerusalem resident
Faisal Husseini to serve as
the head of the Palestinian
negotiating delegation.
Under the original agree-
ment before the peace talks
began in Madrid in October
1991, the Israelis refused to
accept Jerusalem residents
as official members of the
Palestinian delegation, fear-
, ing such an arrangement
