Jerusalem (JTA) — In the wake
of a new Israeli proposal for peace
with Syria, opposition leaders are
pressing for the immediate dis-
solution of the Knesset and for
early elections.
For the first time, Prime Min-
ister Yitzhak Rabin this week
outlined a two-phase proposal for
peace with Syria that would in-
volve withdrawal on the Golan
Heights in exchange for normal-
ized relations.
Syria, for its part, immediate-
ly rejected the proposal. At the
same time, however, the Syrian
foreign minister spoke of the
"warm" relations between the two
countries and said it would be
possible for Israel and Syria to
reach a peace agreement by the
end of this year.
The Israeli premier broke new
ground in an interview with Galei
Zahal, the Israel Defense Force
radio station, saying the proposed
first phase of the withdrawal
should span a three-year period.
A peace agreement would be fi-
nalized, he said, after a three-
year interim period during which
Israel would test security
arrangements and relations with
Syria.
In the past, Israel reportedly
was insisting on a five-year in-
terim period.
Mr. Rabin compared the pro-
posal to the phases of the Israeli-
Egyptian peace accord. He
recalled that in 1980 Israel pulled
back in the Sinai to a line mid-
way across the peninsula — from
el-Arish in the north to Ras
Muhammad in the south.
The IDF maintained that line
for more than two years, while
normalization — including the
creation of embassies and the free
flow of goods and persons — went
into effect between the two coun-
tries.
In the interview, Mr. Rabin
said he had conveyed to Syria, via
the United States, his basic view
that a peace agreement must
"stand on four legs, like a table."
The components he outlined
included: the extent of an Israeli
withdrawal from the Golan
Heights, a timetable for the du-
ration of the withdrawal, provi-
sions for a multi-staged pullback,
and security arrangements.
Mr. Rabin emphasized that
the first phase of the withdraw-
al would be "limited," and would
be accompanied by security pro-
visions, on the one hand, and by
a steady normalization of rela-
tions, on the other.
Responding to strong public re-
action to the new proposal, Mr.
Rabin sought to backpedal on
Thursday, telling his Cabinet
ministers that the first phase of
the withdrawal he had proposed
was to be "minimal" and was not
to involve dismantling settle-
ments "if possible."
Minister of Agriculture Yakov
Tsur, a Labor hard-liner, said the
prime minister had not given
"clear answers" regarding the
withdrawal, but he had assured
the ministers that "he is not talk-
ing about dismantling settle-
ments" in the first phase.
But the Likud and other op-
position parties were not as-
suaged. They demanded a special
recess session of the Knesset and
said they would press for early
elections.
Leaders of the Golan Heights
settlements, meanwhile, sprang
into emergency action. They an-
nounced the start of a public cam-
Syria's foreign
minister rejected
the Israeli plan for a
limited withdrawal.
paign, "Oz (Strength) 94"
designed to persuade public opin-
ion against withdrawal from the
Golan Heights.
Representatives of all the set-
tlements are scheduled to con-
vene for the formal kick-off of the
campaign.
Parallel to their planned ac-
tions in the public sphere, the
Golan settlers are working fever-
ishly within the ruling Labor Par-
ty to drum up opposition to the
evolving accord.
A group of Labor Knesset
members is urging legislation re-
quiring a special majority of 65
percent of the nation, or 70 out of
the 120 Knesset members, to ap-
prove any Golan-for-peace deal
with Syria.
Mr. Rabin has pledged to hold
a referendum on the Golan once
an agreement with the Syrians
has been worked out. In Rosh
Hashanah interviews in the Is-
raeli media, Mr. Rabin conceded
that he had no mandate from the
nation to undertake a deep pull-
back on the Golan and, therefore,
needed the endorsement of a
plebiscite.
The prime minister did not dis-
count the possibility that this
plebiscite might ultimately take
the form of regular elections for
prime minister and Knesset —
with Labor and its allies running
on a Golan-for-peace ticket.
