Jerusalem

A

s Prime Minister Ehud
Barak engages this week in
Middle East summitry,
there is one issue on which
he can afford to make the fewest con-
cessions: Jerusalem.
Struggling to hold together the
vestiges of his governing majority
before leaving for Camp David on
Monday, Barak assured the nation on '
the eve of his departure that
Jerusalem would remain undivided
under Israeli sovereignty in any peace
treaty with the Palestinians.
This, the premier declared in a live
television appearance, was one of his
guiding principles as he entered the
historic and crucial negotiations.
Meanwhile, however, Israeli politi-
cians and pundits were busily swap-
ping what they considered reliable
information about the concessions
Barak is ready to make regarding
Jerusalem and other key issues.
As evidence, they pointed to the

premier's reluctance to share his "red
lines" — or the limits of his negotiat-
ing stance — with the leader of fer-
vently Orthodox Shas Party.
Along with Shas officials, Interior
Minister Natan Sharansky of the
Yisrael Ba'Aliyah Party has com-
plained that Barak has refused to
share his negotiating plans with his
coalition partners. On Sunday, Shas,
Yisrael Ba'Aliyah and the National
Religious Party resigned from the
government.

Devilish details

Barak's office, however, maintained
that, along-with his Jerusalem stance,
the premier made his other red lines
abundantly clear during his televised
address Sunday:
• No return to the borders that exist-
ed prior to the 1967 Six-Day War;
• No foreign army inside the West
Bank;
• The majority of Jewish settlers
would live under Israeli sovereignty;
• No acceptance by Israel of legal or
moral responsibility for the creation
of the Palestinian refugee problem.

he official Palestinian line,
says Palestinian human
rights activist Bassam Eid, is
that "Yasser Arafat is
adamant, he will never accept any
compromises." But, Eid continues,

"Everybody knows Arafat is going to‘i,
accept compromises." The question is
simply how far he will go.
In interviews this week as the
Camp David summit got under way,
Palestinian experts like Eid tried to
grapple with the question.
"Arafat has one overriding objective
— to achieve a Palestinian state with

East Jerualem as its capital," says Dr.
-
Khalil Shikaki, director of the
Palestinian Center for Policy and
Survey Research in Ramallah.
What this means, in Shikaki's view,
is that in return for statehood on all the
land of the West Bank and Gaza — or
its equivalent — and sovereignty over
Arab east Jerusalem, including the
Temple Mount, the Palestinian
Authority chairman would be pre-
pared to "give" Barak the issue of the
Palestinian refugees.
Arafat would likely be willing to

grant Israel the 5 percent or so of the
West Bank required to incorporate
some 80 percent (or 150,000) of the
settlers into the country. In addition,
Arafat would likely waive sovereignty
