Bush assures Syria of Israeli pullout from all fronts
DAMASCUS. July 26 : Foreign Minister Farouk Sharaa says President Bush had assured Syria that Israel would withdraw from all fronts. Including the Golan Heights, as part of a peace agreement, reports AP.
But a Bush administration official says the United States had not taken a new position, and merely repeated to Syria that it agrees with U N resolutions saying that 'land for peace applies to all the fronts, including the Golan Heights."
In Jerusalem, an aide to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir Mid Israel would not agree to any Tand-for-peace" deal and Mid that if the United States had made such a pledge. It cast doubt on Washington's peacemaking role
"Israel expects the United States to be an honest broker," Mid the statement from Yossi Achimeir. director of Shamir's office. The United States 'should not stand alongside Syria against Israel on these positions.'
The Thursday developments came as the United States and Arab nations awaited Israel's response to Secretary of State James Baker Ill's propoMls for a peace conference.
Syria. Egypt. Lebanon and Jordan have agreed to attend the conference, and Saudi Arabia has said It will attend as
A reporter asked Sharaa at a news conference in Damascus. "Did Bush really mention with drawal from all fronts?"
Sharaa responded. "Yes. yes. and the American administration's rejection of the annexation of one centimeter of the Golan Heights."
He also Mid. "this American stand, as Bush expressed tn his letter, is the one which gave us a glimmer of hope in the possibility of reaching a comprehensive and Just peace in the region."
He apparently was referring to a letter Bush sent Syrian President Hafez Assad propos Ing a peace conference
'All the territories occupied by Israel 1n the 1967 war should be restored to the Arabs In a peaceful settlement They should be the outcome of the peace conference . . .Geography does not achieve Israeli security." Sharaa said.
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed the territory In December 1981.
It also captured the West Bank from Jordan and the Gaza Strip from Egypt In the 1967 war
A Bush administration official said the president had outlined to Syria Its view of two U.N. Security Council resolutions. Resolution 242 calls lor Israeli withdrawal from the territories It occupied tn 1967. Resolution 338 calls on all parties to negotiate peace.
"What the president Mid was that we consider that 242 and 338. that Is land for peace, applies to all the fronta. including the Golan Heights And therefore we do not recognise the unilateral extension of Israeli law. In other words the annexation of the Golan Heights . . . . That isn't new.'
Shamir's top political adviser, Yossi Ben-Aharon, had said before Sharaa s remarks were reported that Israel would not concede the Golan Heights.
Two other obstacles to peace emerged: Israeli leftwingers disclosed secret government plans to build up to 4.000 more housing units in the occupied territories, and Israel on Thursday opened an office to register private property In the West Bank.
The opening of a property office in Ariel, the largest Jesish city-settlement, appeared to fasten Israels grip on the West Bank.
Bush, meanwhile, made another appeal to the Israelis to "respond favorably to this his toric opportunity for peace and security."
"I know the Palestinians are closely examining their choices,' he added Thursday In remarks prepared for a convention of the Antlochtan Orthodox Christians. "Here, too. I would ask only that they do everything possible to take advantage of this unprecedented situation to attain thetr legitimate rights and at the same time further the cause of peace."
