ty, we're hopeful that the re-
sults of these studies can help
us to prioritize how we cover
the news, what we cover and
where there may be opportu-
nities for us to place other re-
sources."
Executive
JCCouncil
Director David Gad-Harf be-
lieves the survey and its re-
sults may alter the way
JCCouncil does its work.
"I think we can use surveys
to follow up on programming.
To the extent that we have
hard data, it enhances our
ability to serve and support

our projects," Mr. Gad-Harf
said.
Susan Smock, dean of the
College of Urban, Labor and
Metropolitan Affairs at WSU,
is optimistic about the work-
ing relationship.
"Often we are hired to do
research or do our individu-
al work. This is very much a
partnership committed to ex-
ploring a number of questions
relevant to the Jewish com-
munity and to those at Wayne
interested in urban areas,"
Ms. Smock said. ❑

Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel is
hoping its decision to release
280 Palestinians from prison
early will be seen as a sign of
good will in advance of the
resumption next month in
Washington of peace talks
with the Palestinians.
Officially, the move, which
was announced by the
Defense Ministry, is a
gesture timed to coincide
with the Muslim Id al-Adha
festival taking place at the
beginning of next week.
But observers say the
government also hopes the
step will improve the at-
mosphere between Israeli
and Palestinian negotiators
in Washington.
The list of the released
prisoners was approved in a
meeting attended by Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin,
Police Minister Moshe
Shahal, Israel Defense Force
Deputy Chief of Staff Amnon
Shahak, the head of the Shin
Bet security agency and the
army's coordinator for ac-
tivities in the administered
territories, Maj. Gen. Danny
ROthschild.
None of the Palestinians
being released over the next
few days participated in any
violent activities leading to
injuries or deaths, and the
majority have already com-
pleted most of their prison
terms. Some on the list are
detainees who had not yet
been tried.
This gesture, as well as the
decision last week to allow
residents of the territories to
enter Jerusalem for prayers
on the Temple Mount, came
amid growing optimism here
that the Palestinians will
return to the talks despite

their stated ambivalence
about doing so.
It is also expected that the
Americans will try to bridge
the gap between the Palesti-
nians and the Israelis before
the talks begin.
But the Palestinian dele-
gation to the peace talks has
yet to respond to an Ameri-
can invitation to come to
Washington for
"consultations" aimed at
hammering out a joint
Israeli- Palestinian state-
ment of principles.
Dr. Haidar Abdel-Shafi,
head of the Palestinian dele-
gation, said that in his view,
there is no reason for any
crisis in the talks. He said
there could be no excuse for
not achieving progress in the
talks because peace is just as
important for the Israelis as
for the Palestinians.
Eitan Bentzur, deputy
head of the Israeli delega-
tion to the talks with the Pa-
lestinians, expressed satis-
faction with Abdel- Shafi's
statement, saying it is an
indication that the Palestin-
ians have moved beyond the
stage of "soul-searching"
they announced at the end of
the ninth round of talks. Mr.
Bentzur said the comment
showed that the Palestin-
ians are interested in conti-
nuing the talks.
Differences remain,
however, within the Pales-
tinian camp. Represent-
atives of the Palestinian lef-
tist groups met this week in
Jerusalem and called for "a
dialogue of all Palestinian
trends" to work out an joint
document that would guide,
and limit, the Palestinian
delegation.
