Tel Aviv (JTA) — A major
Israeli think tank is recom-
mending several changes in
the Arab-Israeli peace pro-
cess, including direct
negotiations between Israel
and the Palestine Liberation
Organization.
The recommendation was
among the findings made by
military and political analy-
sts at Tel Aviv University's
highly respected Jaffee
Center for Strategic Studies.
Among other views, the
analysts concluded that the
risk of a military confronta-
tion in the Middle East is
very low for the foreseeable
future and that Israel no
longer has a strategic need
for the border security zone
it maintains in southern
Lebanon.
Presenting the Jaffee
Center's latest annual
report, "The Military Bal-
ance 1992-1993," were the
center's founder and head,
Reserve Maj. Gen. Aharon
Yariv; the recently ap-
pointed director, Joseph
Alpher; and senior resear-
cher Shlomo Gazit.
They stressed that there is
still a "window of oppor-
tunity" for peace — a
description used by former
U.S. President George Bush
to describe attempts to es-
tablish a new order in the
Middle East in the after-
math of the Persian Gulf
War.
But the researchers urged
that progress be made im-
mediately if anything is to
be achieved. Within the
Middle East context, they
argued, it is impossible to
stand still. Marking time
without forward progress ac-
tually means falling back.
In presenting their fin-
dings, the Jaffee Center
analysts made some pro-
vocative judgments that
were certain to raise the ire
of opposition and govern-
ment politicians alike.
For one, the analysts said
that Israel's recent
weeklong shelling of
southern Lebanon had been
excessive and may have
caused unnecessary hard-
ship to the local population.
The reason for such force,
they argued, was not so
much to combat the Hez-
bollah terrorists who had
been responsible for a series
of recent attacks on Israeli
soldiers as to show the Israel
public that the Rabin-led
Labor coalition was capable

of taking firm action.
Another provocative mo-
ment came when, asked if
the security zone in southern
Lebanon was still essential
for Israel's security, Maj.
Gen Yariv gave a short and
sharp reply: "Probably not."
He pointed out that the
purpose of the security zone
had never been to prevent
the firing of Katyusha
rockets at Israeli towns and
villages. It was always
known, he said, that
Katyusha rockets, which
have a range of some 12
miles, could be fired from
north of the zone and land in
Kiryat Shmona and other
Israeli population centers.
The real purpose of the
security zone, established

when the Israel Defense
Force withdrew from
southern Lebanon after the
Lebanon War of 1982, has
been to prevent the infiltra-
tion of terrorist groups into
Israel.
And since that time, no se-
rious acts of infiltration
have been carried out.
But Maj. Gen. Yariv sug-
gested that suitable ar-
rangements could now be
made in the ongoing peace
talks with the Syrians and
Lebanese to ensure that the
Lebanese army would halt
terrorist infiltration, as is
