Israel And Jordan
Draw Even Closer

Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel
and Jordan are very close to
a peace agreement, accor-
ding to Foreign Minister
Shimon Peres, who met at
length last week with Jor-
dan's King Hussein.
The foreign minister gave
this upbeat assessment in a
speech here during a semi-
nar on relations between
Europe and the Middle East,
held under the auspices of
the Hebrew University.
Meanwhile, the autonomy
implementation talks bet-
ween Israel and the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization, cut short in the
Sinai border town of Taba
last week, were to resume in
privacy in Cairo.
Palestinian officials
suspended the Taba talks
last week over dis-
agreements regarding
Israeli troop withdrawals in
the Gaza Strip and the West
Bank town of Jericho. The
pullback is scheduled to
begin Dec. 13.
According to Israeli
sources, each side will be
sending five delegates to the
security subcommittee,
which is the main subcom-
mittee in the autonomy
negotiations.
The talks will continue in-
definitely in Cairo, far from
the prying eyes of the news
media.
The Peres-Hussein
meeting, one of many held in
secret between the king and
Israeli leaders over the
years, was unique in that,
with the consent of the two
sides, it was leaked to the
media almost immediately
after it took place.
Mr. Peres himself, in hints
and comments to reporters
on Nov. 3, made it clear
something was "in the air."
Most significantly, though,
and seen as a Jordanian con-
firmation, was a brief report
in the semi-official Jordan
Times about the Israeli
media's stories.
This is the first time any
Jordanian newspaper has
ever published reports of a
meeting between Hussein
and Israeli leaders.
King Hussein, who was
originally shocked and
disturbed by the secret deal-
ings between PLO Chair-
man Yassir Arafat and top
Israeli officials, later met
with Prime Minister Yit-
zhak Rabin, who reportedly
alleviated at least some of
King Hussein's concerns.

King Hussein:
Some concerns were alleviated.

The king is concerned
about any arrangements
reached by Israel and the
PLO because more than 2
million Palestinians live in
Jordan.
King Hussein reportedly
has signaled to the Israeli
side that he will be able to
move ahead in the peace
process after parliamentary
elections in Jordan.
Mr. Peres, it is understood,
gave the king further
assurances regarding
Israel's firm intention to
keep full control of the Jor-
dan River crossing points
located near Jericho even
after the autonomy accord
with the PLO goes into
effect.
Israeli control over the
crossings will prevent
undesirable or disruptive
elements from crossing into
Jordan, a subject of concern
for King Hussein.
Meanwhile, a flurry of
media reports here have
spoken in recent days of
behind-the-scenes progress
in negotiations between
Israel and Syria.
According to these reports,
secret talks between the two
countries are focusing on
possible territorial
exchanges that would enable
Israel to retain a foothold
atop the Golan Heights.
The reports touch on a
topic that is vitally impor-
tant to Jordan: King Hus-
sein has been clearly reluc-
tant to move out ahead of
Damascus and sign a peace
agreement with Israel while
the Israel- Syria track re-
mai ns paralyzed.
