Jerusalem (JTA) — An
American team of diplomats
I arrived here to launch a
wide-ranging, intensive
effort to save the Middle
East peace process.
The team, headed by
Dennis Ross, the State
Department's new coor-
dinator for the peace talks,
met for two hours with
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin and with Foreign
)– Minister Shimon Peres.
"We had good discus-
sions," Mr. Ross said after-
ward, adding: "This is the
) beginning of several days of
discussions, and I look for-
ward to continuing to work
on what we're doing now."
The U.S. team planned to
hold sessions with Palestin-
ian leaders before pro-
ceeding on to Egypt, Syria
and Jordan. They will wind
up back in Jerusalem, to
report to Israeli officials on
their round of talks.

\

The American trip was
preceded by a flurry of dip-
lomatic activity also con-
nected to the peace process.
A day before the Ameri-
cans arrived in Israel, Egyp-
tian President Hosni Muba-
rak made a surprise visit to
Latakia, Syria, where he
met with President. Hafez
Assad.
Mr. Mubarak's visit came
shortly after he concluded
talks in Alexandria, Egypt,
with Foreign Minister Peres.
At a news conference in
Latakia, the two Arab
leaders said they were com-
mitted to continuing the
peace process.
"We should continue the
negotiations because pulling
out, as President Hafez al-
Assad said, would harm our
cause, and we would be the
losers," Mr. Mubarak said.
In Amman, Jordan's King
Hussein met with Palestine
Liberation Organization
leader Yassir Arafat.

There were conflicting
reports about whether the
Palestinians might recon-
sider their refusal to accept a
draft American document
> aimed at bridging differ-
ences with the Israelis over a
joint declaration of prin-
ciples for continuing the
) peace negotiations.
In Moscow, Israeli Deputy
Foreign Minister Yossi
Beilin held what were de-
scribed as "constructive"
talks with a Palestinian
delegation, which reportedly
did not reject the American
draft altogether.
