JEWISH NEWS

cerned that Syria is not spooked
by the sudden emphasis on the
talks with the Palestinians. At
the opening session on Tuesday,
in fact, the Syrians were re-
portedly "scornful" of the new
initiative.
The fact that Israel and the
PLO are on the verge of mutu-
al recognition also poses some
tricky questions about if— and
when — the administration will
resume direct contact with the
Palestine Liberation Organiza-
tion. U.S.-PLO dialogue was
abandoned in 1990 after a ter-
rorist attack against Israel, al-
though there has been
mounting pressure in recent
months for its resumption. Pro-
Israel activists are urging the
administration to let Israel take
the lead in setting parameters
for contacts with the PLO.
"There will probably now be
strong pressure on Washington
to resume the dialogue," said
Seymour Reich, president of the
American
Zionist Movement. "But the
United States is letting Israel
take the lead on this. From a po-
litical standpoint, this is much
safer. And it makes more sense,
in terms of moving this process
forward. Washington is going to
be very careful now not to get in
the way."
Most American Jewish
groups are taking a wait-and-
see approach to these dramatic
developments. The somewhat
general statements issued by
most organizations reflected the
sparse details about the pro-
posed agreement — and the
lack of consensus in the Jewish
world on such key issues as
dealing with the PLO and es-
tablishing what may be the
groundwork for an independent
Palestinian state.
In a teleconference arranged
by the Conference of Presidents
of Major American Jewish Or-
ganizations on Monday, the pre-
vailing mood was cautious
optimism, surprise — and, as
Malcolm Hoenlein, the confer-
ence's executive vice chair, said,
there was also "caution. People
have been through this before,

enough not to expect that things
will necessarily work out."
An Israeli official in Wash-
ington was confident that while
the American Jewish commu-
nity's right-wing will cry foul,
the Jewish "center" will hold.
"While a vocal minority will
complain," he said, "we antici-
pate that most organizations
will simply say they support
whatever decisions the Israeli
government takes — period. For
American Jewish groups, this
has now become something of a
spectator sport."
But Abraham Foxman, exec-
utive director of the Anti-
Defamation League, insisted
that Jewish leaders will be "ac-
tive spectators" when the
process of working out the de-
tails of the plan — including a

likely American role in provid-
ing security guarantees — be-
gins.
"What really matters," he
said, "in terms of the American
Jewish reaction, is how events
play out in Israel. The Ameri-
can Jewish community will re-
flect the levels of acceptance and
optimism and bitterness in Is-
rael."
That prediction seemed on
target. On Tuesday, followers of
the late Rabbi Meir Kahane
staged a noisy demonstration at
Washington's Mayflower Hotel,
where the Israeli negotiating
team is staying during Round
11. Later in the day, an ad-hoc
group of Jewish activists vent-
ed their anger in front of the
State Department.
"What's at stake is the ques-
tion of whether Israel itself is
negotiable," said Mitchell
Finkel, co-chair of the Wash-
