Security for Israel a niajcgu
concern in peace propossj^
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) —
Syrian support for a Saudi
peace overture to Israel brings
the Arab world closer than it
has ever been to recognizing
Israel’s right to exist, but the
process is fraught with pitfalls.
The chance for a new peace
initiative comes just three
weeks from now when the Arab
League convenes in Beirut for
its annual summit — and it
could vanish just as quickly if
Israel carries out its threat to
prevent Palestinian leader
Yasser Arafat from attending.
Syrian President Bashar
Assad, whose father and prede
cessor once led the vanguard of
hard-line opposition to Israel,
has reservations but “expressed
satisfaction” with the proposal
aired last month by Saudi
Arabia’s Crown Prince
Abdullah, Syria’s state-run
media said Wednesday.
It was the clearest signal yet,
coming amid Assad’s flurry of
visits with other Arab leaders,
that Syria would go along with
the Saudi proposal if it is present
ed at the March 27-28 summit.
The Saudi proposal has also
found suppon from the United
States and from some Israeli
officials. Israeli Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres and
Defense Minister Binyamin
Ben-Eliezer, both of the cen
ter-left Labor Party, have said
it has positive elements that
deserve exploration.
But despite offering the
Israelis wider acceptance by the
Arabs — and an alternative to
dealing solely with Arafat on
Palestinian issues. Israeli Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon and other
hard-liners appear to think it
offers insufficient guarantees
for Israel’s security.
Abdullah’s plan, as sketched
out so far, is a fairly simple idea
that goes straight to the core
issue — land for peace — but it
leaves a lot of touchy details to
be addressed later.

Saudi officials have said the
details, including the borders of
Israel and a Palestinian state
and the fate of Palestinian
refugees, would be left to
Israeli, Palestinian, Syrian and
Lebanese negotiators.
But Abdullah’s proposal was.
