Tsemach, was that Israelis based their appraisal of the government largely on domestic performance. Yet when it came time to vote, the public still considered Israeli- Arab issues the dominant factor. The government's willingness to trade the Golan Heights for a peace treaty with Syria was found to be an albatross around its neck. The administration re- ceived a strongly negative rating on its dealings with Syria; what's more, respondents said this was the single most important issue in determining their vote. The polls also found that the three prospective new centrist parties — The Third Way (main- ly Laborites opposed to giving up the Golan), an immigrant party led by Natan Sharansky, and Mr. Levy's party — would take many votes away from the right wing. An anticipated new Israeli Arab party, led by Ahmed Tibi, an ad- viser to Yasser Arafat, could be- come the largest Arab party in the Knesset. Histadrut leader Haim Ramon said the polls augured well for Mr. Rabin and the government in the October 1996 elections, which will, for the first time, be held by dual ballot — one for prime minister, one for a politi- cal party. "Whoever wins the vote for prime minister will form the gov- ernment," Mr. Ramon noted. "I believe Yitzhak Rabin is going to defeat Bibi Netanyahu, and then the Orthodox parties are going to see no option but to join [the parties of the left] in the gov- ernment." Likud member and Tel Aviv Mayor Roni Milo said the polls showed that the Israeli public "wants a centrist, moderate gov- ernment, not the extreme left or the extreme right." Arguing that the government was too left- wing for Israeli tastes, he warned his own party, "If the Likud gets dragged along by [right-wing] extremists, it will lose the election." ❑ Missing Soldier In Lebanon? Jerusalem (JTA) — Thirteen years after the Lebanon war, the father of a missing soldier has said his son and two other miss- ing servicemen could be alive, held by Lebanese villagers work- ing for Syria. Mr. Baumel spoke recently at a news conference in Jerusalem, marking the anniversary of the battle in which his son and two other soldiers, Zvi Feldman and Yehuda Katz, were believed to have been captu - -ed. "According to our information, the boys are being held by the Lebanese, in Lebanese villages, but under the supervision of the Syrians," Mr. Baumel said.
