that the main reason the
Palestinians agreed to
return to the negotiations
was not the Israeli conces-
sions but Saudi Arabia's
agreement to pump $100
million into the territories
as a result of pressure by
Washington.
The reason the Pales-
tinians reduced their dele-
gation and finally boy-
cotted the meeting con-
vened by U.S. officials,
according to the paper,
was that the Saudis had
failed to come through
with the promised cash.
If the Palestinians have
the potential to open the
door to a settlement,
Damascus has the power
to keep it shut, and Syria's
canny President Hafez
Assad is continuing to
keep all his options open.
He remains tantalizing-
ly coy about what he really
means by "full peace," con-
tinues to maintain close a
military alliance with radi-
cal Iran, continues to spon-
sor the 10 religious and
nationalist Palestinian fac-
tions that oppose a deal
with Israel and he contin-
ues to allow Lebanon's
Hezbollah fighters to
attack Israel's northern
border.
According to a senior
Israeli political source, Mr.
Assad understands that he
must replace his former
Soviet patron and is ready
to negotiate a deal with
Israel. At the same time,
however, he is determined
to "keep his options open."
In that case, the most
ominous phenomenon is
that his military produc-
tion plants are still work-
ing at full stretch — pro-
ducing sophisticated medi-
um-range missiles and
chemical warheads that
could be Syria's response if
the peace process fails. 0

Jerusalem (JTA) — Right-
wing settlers clashed over
the weekend with fervently
Orthodox supporters of
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the
spiritual leader of the Shas
party, over the influential
rabbi's backing of the Labor-
led government's peace poli-
cies.
Settlers demonstrating
outside of Rabbi Yosef's
home, protesting Shas' par-
ticipation as a partner of the
ruling coalition, were
assaulted by hundreds of
Rabbi Yosef's adherents.
Two settlers suffered serious
wounds.
Ironically, the clash came
as Shas was in the midst of a
political crisis with Labor
and threatened to pull out of
the coalition, though over
issues unrelated to the peace
process.
The settlers, led by Rabbi
Menahem Felix, have been
staging a sit-in strike for the
past four weeks, in protest of
the ongoing alliance bet-
ween Shas and the Labor
Party.
Rabbi Yosef supporters
regarded the demonstiation
as an unacceptable att.-m-Ipt
to drag their rabbi into poli-
tics, and a personal harass-
ment of their leader.
The weekend clash follow-
ed an outburst by Rabbi
Yosef in front of his
followers during the weekly
Torah lesson. The rabbi re-
portedly burst into tears,
complaining that the dem-
onstrating settlers were
making life miserable for his
family and would not leave
him in peace.
Supporters of Rabbi Yosef
showed up at his house, in
Jerusalem's prestigious
Talbiyeh neighborhood, and
physically attacked the
demonstrators.
Rabbi Felix and another
settler were injured in the
face and rushed to the
hospital. Rabbi Yosef's
followers then threw fur-
niture into the street and set
it afire.
The settlers filed com-
plaints with the police
against the attackers, as
well as against Rabbi Yosef
himself.
In response, dozens of set-
tlers showed up at Rabbi
Yosers residence the next
morning, in a gesture of
solidarity with the sit-in
strikers, led by Rabbi Felix,
who had returned from the
hospital.
