Israel's 'Peace' Feelings Probed
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Extensive talks between a groiqiof United States diplomats and Israeli omcisas ended here witti ¦expressions of satis&ction on both side but littie hard in¬ formation on whether differences oii Middle East iwllcy had been narrowed. , " George BaU, the new United States aminssadbir to tbe United Nations, told newsmen tiiat 'a did not come here with any dans for a settie¬
ment." He added that "what he wanted was tqhave a com¬ plete exchange of views and this is what we had." The talks reportedly were "ft-ank and open-hearted," the ex¬ pression used by .President Johnsi^ in a^^letter to Pre¬ mier Eshkol tirougfatbyBalli who said on several occas¬ ions here that the Johnson Administration firmly be¬ lieved that a Middle East solution must come flrom the governments and peoples of the region.
THE GROUP hiduded As¬ sistant Secretary of State Joseph Slsco and Alfired At- hertm, chief of the State De- partmenifs Arablsraeldesk. The three Americans niet with the Premier, Forel^
..Minister AbbaEbaia, Deputy Prime Minister Ylgal Alon and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan -,'.,.
- Israeli ofBclals Indicated a belief that the Americans received a clear view of Israeli positions, particular¬ ly on' the rapid rebuildiiig of the Arab war machines by tbe Soviet -Union, It was known that tie discussions included Israel's six-mbnOi-
dld requiest for 50 F-4 Phan¬ tom jet fi^iter-bombers to match tiie modern planes -sivjplled by Russia to E^gypt and Syria.
IT WAS also reported i tiie. United States agreedt Egypt was. the main barrle to a Middle Ekst settiement' and tiiait the Americandlplp- mats agreed with the IsraeU leaders that EgyptianPresl- dent Naisser's adherence to the Khartoum conference formula of no Arab hc^^ tiations, recogiiition or peace with Israel was rigid.
They hinted that Jordan might beless so. Reportedly, the Americans sought to in¬ duce the Israelis to relax the^ insistence on direct peace talks with the Arabs.
SUBSEQUENTLY Eban told tiie I&iesset that he had <fevery reason to believe that the United States will give its blessings to. any talks that might be held betwera Israel and the Arabs and would not try to intervene in the dlscussicms."
