INA FRIEDMAN ISRAEL CORRESPONDENT

T

he spirit of former
Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger hov-
ered over the Middle
East last week during the
visit o' the occupant of that
office, Warren Christopher.
Mr. Kissinger, the master
of shuttle diplomacy, used
the technique in 1975 to
engineer the interim agree-
ment between Israel and
Egypt, opening the way for
the peace treaty four years
later.
The official line in Israel
had it that the success of
the Kissinger mission was
due solely to the talents of
the brilliant, witty, and
some say Machiavellian
minister, not to the merits
of shuttle diplomacy per se.
On the contrary, for as far
back as anyone could
remember, Israel had been
calling for direct negotia-
tions with its Arab neigh-
bors as the one means of
reaching a durable solution
to the Middle East conflict.
But now, after 22 fruitless
months of such talks, the
"good news" that Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin
thanked Secretary Chris-
topher for bringing him is
that the Middle East will be
reverting, alongside the low-
level direct talks in
Washington, to shuttle
diplomacy between the
region's leaders.
The task will reportedly
be divided between Mr.
Christopher and Dennis
Ross, the State Deai-tment's
coordinator of Middle East
policy.
Neither of them is a
Kissinger. But this time it
seems that the medium,
rather than the mediator, is
the message.
For close to a year now,
the Israeli-Syrian peace
talks have been stuck in
what Israel's Deputy For-
eign Minister Yossi Beilin
calls the apres vous mode.
Each side has been calling
upon the other to be the
first to reveal how much it
will concede in return for
what it wants out of the
peace process.
Thus Prime Minister
Rabin has asked Syrian
President Hafez Assad to
define precisely the nature
and scope of the "full peace"
he will grant in return for
an Israeli withdrawal on the
Golan Heights. Mr. Assad,

meanwhile, has demanded
that Israel first commit
itself to a "full withdrawal"
from the Golan before he
spells out his intentions
regarding the quality and
extent of the peace.
Now, both sides have loos-
ened up enough for Mr.
Assad to tell Mr.
Christopher that he will be
prepared to give "more
detailed answers" to Israel's
questions about the envi-
sioned peace, and for Mr.
Rabin to tell his Labor
Party colleagues that the
time is coming when Israel
will have to make some
"tough decisions" about
peace — code for a with-
drawal from (or "on," as Mr.
Rabin has preferred to
phrase it till now) the
Golan.
This does not amount to a
dramatic breakthrough on
the Syrian-Israeli
front. But for the first time
since last year, there is a
clear sense of movement —
and the potential for more of
it — with the aid of high-

"I've never seen
any force so
unstable, so
divided, and so
confused as the
Palestinians."

— Prime Minister Rabin

level American mediation.
Unfortunately, the same
cannot be said of the
Palestinian-Israeli negotia-
tions. Here the long-stand-
ing deadlock in the bilateral
talks has been aggravated
by the near-chaos that has
overtaken the Palestinian
camp.
"The workings of democ-
racy within the PLO" is how
Jerusalem activist Dr.
Ahmed Tibi has described
the dispute between the
members of the Palestinian
delegation and the PLO
leadership in Tunis (or the
PLO "inside" and "outside,"
as they are known in the
local parlance).
"A mess" is how Mr.
Rabin characterized the sit-
uation in grousing that:
"I've never seen any force so
unstable, so divided, and so
confused as the Palestinians
