H
some of those delivery systems will end
up on the world market to help defray
development costs.
On the diplomatic front, the inten-
sifying crisis on the Indian subconti-
nent will distract administration atten-
tion from the sputtering effort to
revive Middle East peace talks before
Israeli- Palestinian tensions explode
into wholesale violence.
For more than a year, the adminis-
tration has expended a disproportion-
ate amount of energy on a Mideast
effort that has produced diminishing
returns. Now, with the nuclear emer-
gency in the Far East rocketing to the
top of its foreign policy agenda, the
administration may look more favor-
ably on the option of a temporary dis-
engagement.
That might be a welcome develop-
ment in Jerusalem, which has energeti-
cally fought recent U.S. proposals, but
it will almost certainly lead to new vio-
lence, new instability in the shaky
Palestinian political structure and long-
term damage to the U.S.- Israel rela-
tionship.
The sudden upsurge of attention on
nuclear proliferation will undoubtedly
encourage Israel's critics, who would
like to portray that country as another
nuclear renegade. That argument won't
sell; Israel has never publicly acknowl-
edged its nuclear capability, and —
more importantly — it has not tested
weapons.
But the India crisis will focus more
attention on efforts to get nations to
sign the nuclear non-proliferation
treaty. Israel is not a signer because it
doesn't want inspections of its nuclear
facilities; a renewed emphasis on the
treaty could add to the diplomatic
pressure Israel already feels over the
deadlocked Mideast peace talks.

No Consensus
On Proposals
New York (JTA) — Americans for
Peace Now sent a letter to the Ameri-
can Israel Public Affairs Committee
and the Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish Organizations
saying there was no real consensus
among American Jewish groups over
American proposals to advance the
peace process.
While AIPAC and the Presidents
Conference are asking the Clinton
administration to back the policies of
the Netanyahu government, the letter
maintained that the majority of Ameri-
can Jews support the U.S. efforts.
