Washington (JTA) — Israel
appeared to be making good
last week on its promise to
grant far-reaching conces-
sions to the Palestinians
once the ninth round of Mid-
dle East peace talks began.
In Jerusalem, Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin announced that Israel
would take back 30 Palestin-
ians deported from the ad-
ministered territories before
the start of the intifada in
December 1987.
An Israeli statement said
the 30 deportees "were
chosen in consultation with
the Israeli security au-
thorities, after a review de-
termined that they were
neither involved in terrorist
attacks in the past, nor were
they active in hostile ter-
rorist activity during the
course of their deportation."
Here in Washington, Pa-
lestinian spokeswoman
Hanan Ashrawi said the 30
were picked from a longer
list of recommended names
given to the Israelis by Pa-
lestinian representatives.
She said the Palestinians
would continue to seek the
return of additional
deportees and that she and
her colleagues were "still
working on the speeded up
return" of the 400 Palestin-
ians deported by Israel last
December.
Ms. Ashrawi said the
return of the 30 Palestin-
ians, who represent a range
of professions and occupa-
tions, "will make a differ-
ence to the community" in
the West Bank and Gaza
Strip.
Israeli officials had been
saying for weeks that they
would offer substantial pro-
posals and gestures to the
Palestinians, once the Pales-
tinians returned to the nego-
tiating table.
The Israeli and Palestin-
ian negotiating teams met
last week for the first time in
over four months, and the
Palestinians seemed to be
waiting for additional ses-
sions before pronouncing
judgment.
Ms. Ashrawi told reporters
that it was "too early to give
a value judgment as to
whether the (first) session
has provided results."
She said that the Israelis
had presented "what they
considered as a package,"
consi s ting of discussions of
"substance, the situation on
the ground and early em-
powerment."
"We talked on each subject
in a general way, but with
the understanding that more
may be coming," Israeli
negotiator Elyakim Rubins-
tein told reporters after the
session.
"On some matters we were
more specific," he added,
saying, "I feel it should re-
main in the negotiating
room."
"I think it was a fruitful
day, to a reasonable extent,"
he added.
Ms. Ashrawi characterized
this round of talks as "one of
the most critical and most
difficult."
Negotiations continued
between Israel and its four
negotiating partners: the
Palestinians, Syrians, Jor-
danians and Lebanese.
The Israeli-Syrian
negotiations are considered
by some experts to be the
most promising track. But
the Israelis expressed con-

cern that, although the
Syrians were using the
phrase "full peace for full
withdrawal," the definition
of "full peace" remained
unclear.
The Israelis have indicated
that, in return for a full
peace, including exchanges
of ambassadors and trade re-
lations, they would
withdraw from the Golan
Heights.
Later, the two sides agreed
to renegotiate their joint
statement of principles,
Israeli spokesman Uri Palti
reported. "This is sort of
good news," he said.
Itamar Rabinovich, the
Israeli ambassador in Wash-
ington who also serves as
head of the team negotiating
with the Syrians, told
reporters after one session
that the two sides agreed
that "the best thing is to go
back to the working docu-
ment that we have spent
quite a bit of time trying to
draft together in the
previous rounds."
This decision came after a
