US to focus on Palestinian peace process
NEW ORLEANS. Louisiana. Mar 29; The United States plans to focus on the Israeli-Palestinian peace track after failing to bridge gaps between the Jewish state and Syria that could restart their stalled talks, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said yesterday, reports AFP.
What we're going to do now is really important, to concentrate oh the Palestinian track, we're going to focus on that." Albright told AFP in an interview en route to a meeting with Caribbean foreign ministers here.
"We all feel that basically there is value in really focusing now on the Palestinian track until we can figure out what the momentum Is on the other one." she said.
Her comments followed a disappointing weekend summit in Geneva between President Bill Clinton and Syrian President Hafez al-Assad in which US officials concluded the 1s-
raell and Syrian positions were too far apart to make a resumption of those negotiations worthwhile.
Those talks broke down in January over demands from both sides that their conditions for peace be met before an agreement could be reached.
Syria Is demanding that Israel commit to a complete return of the Golan Heights before the talks resume wntle Israel wants commitments from Damascus on security and future relations resolved first.
Albright denied that the Clinton-Assad meeting, which she attended, had been a complete failure but reiterated remarks made by Clinton earlier Tuesday in which he said the ball was now in the Syrian's court.
"1 went to Switzerland to meet president Assad to clarify to him what I thought the options were and to hear from him what his needs are. and I asked him to come back to me
with what he thought ought to be done,' he said.
Albright stressed that the Geneva summit had been designed to clarify the positions of both sides after Syria said it "didn't understand" the Israeli proposal.
She declined to discuss specifics but quoted Clinton as telling the Syrian leader "These are the ideas that the Israelis have put forward. If you don't like them, what are your ideas?"
"It wasn't a bad meeting. 1 wouldn't put it that wav at all (Assad) and the president exchanged ideas on this and It was very evident that there were gaps."
Albright maintained that Washington was not giving up on the Syrian track but said for the moment. US officials would be spending more time trying to assist the Israelis and Palestinians reach a framework agreement for a final peace accord
