When the latest round of
Mideast peace talks began in
Washington two weeks ago,
Arab and Israeli negotiators
hoped the media would find the
affair a big bore. Progress in the
bogged-down talks, they as-
serted, required an end to the
media circus that has accom-
panied each new round of talks.
Well, they got their wish:
Late last week, the talks broke
for a short recess, and the press
barely noticed.
"It was a round of 'momen-
tum-keeping,' " one Israeli offi-
cial said of the latest bargain-
ing sessions, which involved
only the heads of the various
delegations and which took
place at undisclosed locations
around Washington. "It was
important to avoid any impres-
sion that momentum was slip-
ping, even though much of the
real action now is taking place
away from Washington."
As Israeli officials had pre-
dicted, the Syrian-Israeli talks
were an exercise in marking
time until the implementation
negotiations with the Palestine
Liberation Organization are
nailed down, and until Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin and
President Bill Clinton meet
next month.
Mostly, the discussions hag-
gled over the wording for a joint
declaration of principles and
general discussions about pos-
sible time frames for a settle-
ment. In the Jordanian-Israel
talks, negotiators focused on
some prickly technical details
that will be part of an overall
agreement, such as water re-
sources and the environment.
"Negotiations with the Jor-
danians are positive and solid,"
said Elyakim Rubinstein, who
heads the Israeli team working
on that track. 'The atmosphere
and relations between heads of
the delegations are good."
Mr. Rubinstein said that the
talks' new format is "more suit-
able, in terms of ability to work
quietly." This sentiment was ap-
parently unanimous: When
talks resume next week, the
low-profile format will be re-
tained. ❑
