Under Siege
Binyamin Netanyahu is finding out that the Arabs
weren't quite thinking the way he was.
ERIC SILVER ISRAEL CORRESPONDENT
B
inyamin Netanyahu has
always been a great be-
liever in the "realism" of
Arab leaders. Once they
saw the way the wind was blow-
ing in Israel, the Likud prime
minister was confident they
would trim their sails according-
ly.
And he felt that a Likud gov-
ernment was not bound by
Yitzhak Rabin's unwritten offer
to return most, if not all, of the
Golan Heights to Syria in ex-
change for peace and security.
Ergo, he thought that President
Hafez el-Assad, with a well-
known interest in peace and no
longer a big brother in the Krem-
lin, would go back to square one
and the 1991 Madrid conference
framework, "peace for peace, no
preconditions."
He conceded that a Likud gov-
ernment would honor the Oslo
agreements with the Palestine
Liberation Organization to the
letter, but no more. Yassir Arafat
had only the one partner for
peace. Ergo, he would settle for
what Mr. Netanyahu was ready
to yield, a semi-sovereign entity
like Puerto Rico.
Six months after he came to
power, Mr. Netanyahu is learn-
ing, reluctantly and painfully,
that his "realism" and Arab "re-
alism" are not the same. Mr. As-
sad and Mr. Arafat, not to
mention Hosni Mubarak of
Egypt and King Hussein of Jor-
dan, have their own imperatives
and leverage. They have been at
the controls of Middle East diplo-
macy much longer than he has
— and they have survived.
So Mr. Assad is rattling his
Scud missiles, complete with
chemical warheads; reinforcing
the Syrian garrison on the east-
ern flank of the Golan; moving
troops across the checkerboard
of Lebanon; tipping the wink to
the Hezbollah Islamic militia to
step up its harassment of Israeli
patrols and their South Lebanese
army allies.
So, despite almost daily min-
isterial predictions that Israeli
redeployment in Hebron, the last
West Bank Arab city still under
occupation, is just around the cor-
ner, Mr. Arafat is making Mr.
Netanyahu sweat.
"Arafat," the political colum-
nist Yoel Marcus wrote in
Ha'aretz, "is simply more expe-
rienced than Netanyahu. He has
outlasted eight Israeli prime min-
isters. He has been buried and
resurrected seven times. He is
the most devious of negotiators."
Mr. Netanyahu's government
is left with little choice but to cry
foul — and to restore the arms
stocks Rabin's Labor team could
risk running down when war
was receding from anyone's
agenda.
In the end, war on the Golan
remains remote, but Israel can-
not write off a limited Syrian in-
vasion designed to force Mr.
Netanyahu to the negotiating
table on Assad's terms. The gen-
erals, who recently leaked their
anxieties to Time magazine, dare
not be caught napping, as their
predecessors were on Yom Kip-
pur 1973, by the same Syrian
leader.
"I think Assad is still interest-
ed in an agreement," says Pro-
fessor Moshe Maoz, one of Israel's
most assiduous Assad-watchers.
"He knows he has to pay a price
if he wants to get the Golan back.
But I don't think he will wait an-
other four years. If his present
strategy doesn't work, I wouldn't
rule out a blitzkrieg to grab part
of the Golan and try to break the
stalemate."
In Hebron, Israeli troops prob-
ably will withdraw from 85 per-
cent of the city. Mr. Netanyahu
has charged Mr. Arafat with will-
fully delaying an agreement; the
Palestinians insist that there is
more at stake than a residual
right for Israeli troops to pursue
suspected terrorists in the Arab
part of town, or the depth of the
buffer zone around the enclave
where 450 armed Jewish settlers
live amid 150,000 hostile Pales-
tinians. They are worried that
once he has redeployed, Mr. Ne-
tanyahu will sit back and allow
the rest of the Oslo accords to
wither.
"We're saying we want this
government to show not just by
words, but by deeds, that it is
committed to the Oslo agree-
ments," explains Saeb Erakat,
the chief Palestinian negotiator.
'Why is that so difficult? We're
asking when they will implement
things that were agreed months
ago, or that require very little fur-
ther negotiation."
With right-wing critics, in and
out of the Netanyahu cabinet
watching every move, it is easi-
er to blame the large Arab world
than poor little Israel. In an in-
terview with the mass-circula-
tion Yediot Aharonot, Foreign
Minister David Levy accused
Arab leaders of taking "a strate-
gic decision to isolate Israel and
cut it down to what they call its
correct size."
But across the Jordan river,
King Hussein, the second Arab
