how normalization, open bound-
aries, movement of people and
embassies will work. Only then
will we continue withdrawal to
the line on which we will agree."
He said that the last key area
involves security arrangements,
including "a monitoring force like
we had in the Sinai. For 16 years,
a thousand American soldiers
served there, and not one of them
was hurt."
That represented Mr. Rabin's
most direct response to conserv-
ative American legislators and
pro-Israel hard-liners who have
argued that inserting American
troops between Israel and Syria
would pose an unacceptable mil-
itary risk.
In recent months, forces op-
posed to the land-for-peace poli-
cies of the Israeli government
have attempted to generate
strong political resistance to the
use of American peacekeepers as
a way of pre-empting any Israeli
pullout from Golan. Mr. Rabin's
comments are certain to reignite
that debate in Congress.
Mr. Rabin also termed radical
Islamic fundamentalism "the
main threat to peace and to
Israel," and warned an extrem-
ist "infrastructure of terror" is
spreading across the globe
thanks, in large measure, to Iran.
The conference was a tightly
scripted event designed to
demonstrate to the Israeli leader
just how far American Jewish
groups have come in the past
year in mobilizing support for the
policies of his government.
A carefully selected group of
Jewish activists reported on local
efforts to educate the Jewish com-

rime Minister Yitzhak Ra-
bin, speaking to American
Jewish activists in 70 com-
munities around the coun-
try via a satellite link from
Jerusalem to the United States,
clarified Israel's position in the
troubled talks with Syria.
The Israeli leader, participat-
ing in an event commemorating
the first anniversary of the sign-
ing of the Israeli-PLO Declara-
tion of Principles, made the
clearest statement yet of Israel's
hopes for a multinational "mon-
itoring" force that would include
American troops as part of any
land-for-peace deal on the Golan
Heights.
On the negotiations with Syr-
ia, Mr. Rabin noted a "slight
change in their public diploma-
cy." But he said that large gaps
between the two countries re-
main on several key issues.
The first issue, he said, in-
volves Israel's basic commitment
to withdraw from at least part of
the Golan Heights. "We have said
that in a context of peace, we
have to give some territory," he
said. "But we have not commit-
ted to the Syrians. We have no
agreement with the Syrians
about a [demarcation] line."
A second factor, he said, cen-
ters on the timing of any Israeli
pullout. The Israeli leader re-
peated that a phased withdraw-
al could take place only over a
period of several years. Mr. Rabin
also said that Israel would begin
with only a "slight withdrawal,
trying not to uproot even one set-
tlement." After that, there would
be a period of "full normalization
for three years to put to a test
