by being a "consummate politi-
cian," he has pushed the voters
away. If that should happen, it
won't be the first "brilliant ploy"
of Labor that has ended by lead-
ing the party into opposition.

this mild-mannered approach,
writes Ha'aretz political analyst
Hannah Kim, is to capture the
critical "swing vote" of middle-
class Israelis who are "turned off
by mob scenes, violent provoca-
tions, and anything that smacks
of calumny or incitement."
A related influence, she con-
tinues, is the Rabin assassina-
tion, which showed Israelis just
"how far personal attacks can
lead." Building on this new thirst
for civility, Labor is also paying
close attention to nuance.
"Rather than say Bibi is unsuit-
able' [to be prime minister]," one
party strategist explained, "it's
possible to say 'Only Peres is ca-
pable.' " Labor is thus planning
to run a "negative campaign
couched in positive terms."
Such sophisticated strategies
are new in Israeli politics, and
whether the attempt to "psych
out" the public will succeed for
Mr. Peres cannot be known till
May 29.
Noting that Israelis have
grown weary of politics and
— after three years of hype,
demonstrations, and incessant
political chatter on the media —
some observers have welcomed
the prospect of a subdued cam-
paign. But others complain that
by obscuring the crux of the po-
litical dispute, especially at this
crossroads, both parties are in-
sulting the public's intelligence.
And Mr. Peres, long accused of
being "too clever by half," may
wake up on May 30 to find that

Since the final-status negoti-
ations need not be completed un-
til May 1999 — approximately a
year before Israel's next election,
in which he probably won't even
run — it's conceivable that Mr.
Peres will never have to deliver
on his promise. Or at least he can
leave the headache to his suc-
cessors.
Meanwhile, Labor will have
more time to smooth the still-
jagged edges of Israel's relations
with the Palestinians (and the
Syrians, let alone the rest of the
Arab world).
Also, by downplaying the is-
sues and keeping the spotlight
on personalities, Labor has a bet-
ter chance of capturing the high
ground. As of the latest poll, Mr.
Peres is again ahead — with 51
percent to Mr. Netanyahu's 45
percent — despite the spate of
terror attacks.
As the far-more experienced
candidate, Mr. Peres has a good
chance of maintaining that lead
(Hamas permitting), especially
if he can prevent the Orthodox
parties from openly backing Mr.
Netanyahu, which now seems
likely. Before the resumption of
terror attacks in February, the
pundits predicted that this would
be personality — rather than is-
sue-oriented campaign, and La-
bor is trying desperately to keep
it on those lines.
They also forecast that be-
cause the race would revolve
around the two prime minister-
ial candidates, rather than their
parties' platforms, it would be the
nastiest one ever.
But here Labor seems bent on
proving them wrong by ignoring
Mr. Netanyahu, rather than at-
tacking him, and focusing on Mr.
Peres virtues instead. The aim of

espite reports to the con-
trary in the Israeli press,
all is quiet on the Syrian-
Israel negotiating front in
Washington. But that isn't stop-
ping Israeli opposition leaders
from working Capitol Hill, trying
to generate resistance to the
peace policies of Prime Minister
Shimon Peres.
Yigal Carmon — former Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir's spe-
cial adviser on terrorism — was
in town for a round of meetings,
including sessions with members
of the House International Rela-
tions Committee.
Mr. Cannon, one of a trio of
Likud activists who have become
familiar figures on Capitol Hill,
repeated charges that Israel and
the United States continue to
work on plans for an American
presence on the Golan Heights
after a Syrian-Israel deal. He also
criticized Yassir Arafat's Pales-
tinian Authority as a dismal fail-
ure in the fight against terrorism
— a charge that resonates loud-
ly in Congress.
Mr. Cannon's Likud partners
in Israel charged that the private
talks between Israeli Ambas-
sador Itamar Rabinovich and his
Syrian counterpart, Walid
Mualem, are continuing despite
