Jerusalem (JTA) — A large
majority of the Israeli public
opposes a complete
withdrawal from the Golan
Heights, even in exchange
for a full peace with Syria
and appropriate security
guarantees.
Such a complete
withdrawal from the strate-
gic heights is the price Syria
has repeatedly demanded for
peace, though Syria has so
far refused to fully spell out
the extent of the peace it is
willing to offer, as Israel has
demanded.
According to a survey con-
ducted by the Dahaf In-
stitute last week for the
Yediot Achronot newspaper,
61 percent of the Israeli
public opposes such an
exchange, with 37 percent
supporting it. The margin of
error for the poll is 4 percent.
However, the idea of a par-
tial withdrawal for a full
peace wins wide favor: 62
percent say they would sup-
port a limited withdrawal,
and 36 percent would op-
pose.
Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin last week
declared that he would hold
a national referendum to
approve a withdrawal from
the Golan,
That followed the meeting
Jan. 16 between Syrian
President Hafez Assad and
President Clinton, at which
time Assad was seen to have
moved closer toward offering
Israel a full peace in
exchange for the desired
withdrawal. ❑
