support and be vigorously resisted by
the Palestinians and the Arab world.
The lack of international enthusiasm
for unilateral solutions and the fact
that, by definition, they do not
include an end to the conflict has
spawned solutions based on the
international community imposing
its will on both parties.

Outsider Solutions

Left-wing Meretz leader Yossi Sarid
wants to see an American mandate in
the Palestinian territories, nursing the
Palestinians to statehood and peace
with Israel along the lines of the Saudi
peace initiative.
The new mandate, which is also
being backed by former Foreign
Minister Shlomo Ben-Ami, would
have U.N. sanction and would auto-
matically replace the Israeli occupa-
tion.
American or NATO soldiers would
be stationed between Israel and the
Palestinian territories to protect both
sides. This view is gaining momentum
in some diplomatic circles, especially
in Europe.
Jerome Segal of the University of
Maryland's Center for International
and Security Studies adds a precise set
of conditions the Palestinians must
meet for statehood, including recog-
nizing Israel as a Jewish state and
accepting international weapons
inspectors.
The advantage of the imposed solu-
tion is that it is final and underwritten
in the most emphatic way by the
international community.
The question is whether outside
countries would be prepared to make
the commitment, and even if they did,
whether they would be able to impose
their will on both sides.
What would they do if the terror
persisted and if some of it were aimed
at their own forces? When Powell
arrives in Israel this week, he and
Sharon may find themselves out of
sync.
Powell will be trying to revive the
incremental approach, while Sharon
seems to have moved on to a unilater-
alist mindset.
The result could be an American
leap of faith to greater international
involvement, first to cool the situation
and then, some time down the road,
to impose a solution.
One idea being considered is the
convening of a 1991 Madrid-style
international conference of all major
players and all Middle Eastern coun-
tries.

When emergency strikes, Magen David Adorn (MDA) is there — saving the people in
Israel in War and Peace. Now more than ever Israel is fighting for its very survival,
make a gift of life. Help MDA to meet the ever-growing crucial responsibilities.
