Who said what to whom in the past
could affect Israel-Syrian deal.
MICHAEL SHAPIRO
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
talks: "It goes without saying that
peace kr Syria means the return of all
its occupied land."
But he did not mention Syria's
demand — and up until now a pre-
condition to the resumption of talks
— that Israel agree to withdraw to the
borders of June 4, 1967, which marks
the line that separated the Israeli and
Syrian armies in the Jordan Valley
before the Six-Day War began.
Israel has long maintained that it
would not return to that line, saying
that would allow Syria to sit on the Sea
of Galilee, which is a major water
source for Israel. But during previous
negotiations with Syria, Israeli officials
apparently discussed withdrawing to
the 1923 international boundary that
separated Syria and Palestine. The 1923
border sits just east of the 1967 line.
"These 11 square miles are impor-
tant to both sides," said Frederic Hof,
a former official at the Defense and
State Departments who specialized in
Middle East affairs.
Hof said Syria wants Israel to with-
draw to that line because it would mean
hen President Clinton
announced the resump-
tion of negotiations
between Israel and Syria
this month, he said the talks would be
conducted on the basis of all previous
negotiations" and would be "resumed
from the point where they left off."
The ambiguity of the president's
statements seemed designed to allow
both Israel and Syria — whose leaders
have argued for nearly four years exact-
ly where that point is — to come back
to the negotiating table with their own
views intact and without appearing to
have given in to the other side.
But the question remains: How will
their differences over where the talks
left off— not to mention what
occurred during secret negotiations
held during the tenure of Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu —
impact the current negotiations and
the likelihood of reaching a compre-
hensive deal?
Those talks came to a halt in
the spring of 1996 after a wave
of terrorist bombings against
Israel. Syria maintains that the
talks left off with the late Israeli
2-2
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
making a commitment to return
the entire Golan Heights in
exchange for peace with Syria.
Israel, however, maintains that
the offer was hypothetical to see
if Syrian President Hafez Assad
was willing to meet Israeli
demands on security and normal-
ization. Israeli officials involved
in those talks have said Assad did
not meet Israel's requirements
and therefore there was no deal.
Heading into last week's two
days of talks with Syrian Foreign
Minister Farouk al-Sharaa, Israeli
Prime Minister Ehud Barak said
during a speech to the Knesset
Hamad Hamad, second left, walks with his
that peace with Syria would carry
bride Rouweudah and his family between
a "heavy territorial price"
barbed wire fences to Israel from Syria at
although he did not spell out
the Quneitra crossing in the Golan Heights
exactly what that would mean.
Dec. 16 As Israeli and Syrian leaders sat
Said Sharaa, in his combative
down in Washington for talks, there was
speech during last week's Rose
hope that the couple would be among the
Garden ceremony to kick off the
last to make that walk.
