cess, Mr. Rabin had harsh
words for some of the settlers
in the territories and for
critics of the autonomy ac-
cord with the Palestinians
who claim it is a security
threat to Israel.
"If the only threat to Israel
security were the Palestin-
ians, I'd recommend a cut of
70 percent of the defense
budget," Mr. Rabin said.
He said that under the
agreement he would protect
the Jewish settlers in the
autonomous area as much as
possible. At the same time,
however, he blasted "some,
not all," of the settlements
which "don't contribute to
Israel's security" and which
have "no justification what-
soever.
"The way they were estab-
lished creates problems for
the (Israel Defense Force)
and security forces" to pro-
tect them, he said.
"Only the IDF is protec-
ting Israel, nobody else!" he
said, adamantly.
Mr. Rabin also referred to
the recent summit between
President Clinton and
Syrian President Hafez
Assad, saying that,
"unfortunately, I did not see
a clear-cut sign" that Assad
was ready for major steps
toward a peace agreement
with Israel.
He said Mr. Assad has not
done "3 percent" of what
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat did "to convince
Israelis he's really for
peace."
But if and when there is an
agreement with Syria call-
ing for major territorial
withdrawal, he said, he
would call for a national ref-
erendum on the issue. ❑
Hearings Held
For Nominee
Washington (JTA) — Robert
Pelletreau, the Clinton ad-
ministration's nominee to be
assistant secretary of state
for Near Eastern affairs,
said during his confirmation
hearing this week that he
hoped to see "Israel at peace
with its neighbors."
In testimony before the
Senate Committee on For-
eign Relations, Mr.
Pelletreau said the United
States faces "a period of un-
paralleled opportunity and
challenge in the Middle
East."
The opportunity "lies in
the vision of Israel at peace
with its neighbors, with
their mutual security
assured and vigorous," he
said.
Mr. Djerejian is Ambassador
to Israel. 0
