Democratic And Republican Positions Compared
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
The following is a comparison of the Democratic and
Republican platforms adopt- -
ed at their respective national conventions:
MIDDLE EAST
Democrats: The Democratic Party believes that
the security of Israel and the
pursuit of peace in the Middle East are fundamental
priorities for American foreign policy. Israel remains
more than a trusted friend, a
steady ally and a sister
democracy. Israel is strategically important to the
United States and we must
enter into meaningful strategic cooperation."
The  Democratic  Party
-condemns this Administration's failure to maintain a
high-level special negotiator
for the Middle-East and be-

lieves that the Camp David
peace process must be taken
Up again with urgency. ....
Once again we applaud and
support the example of both
Israel and Egypt to take bold
steps for peace. We believe
that the United States should
press for negotiations among
Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia
and other Arab states.
We re-emphasize the fundamental principle that the
prerequisite for a lasting
peace in the Middle East remains an Israel with secure
and defensible borders,
strong beyond a shadow- of
doubt; that the basis for-
\ peace is the unequivocal recognition of Israel's right to
exist by all other states; and
that there should be a resolution of the Palestinian issue.
Republicans: With the
Syrian leadership increas.-
ingly subject to Soviet influence and the Palestine Liberation Organization and its
homicidal subsidiaries taking up residence in Syria,
U.S. policy toward the region
must remain vigilant and
strong". ..
The bedrock of that protection remains as it has for
over three decades, our
moral and strategic relationship with Israel. We are
allies in the defense of freedom. Israel's strength, coupled with United States
assistance, is the main obstacle to Soviet domination
of the region. The sovereignty, security and integrity of
the State of Israel are moral
imperatives. We pledge to
help maintain Israel's qualitative military edge over its
adversaries.   .
Today, relations between
the United States and Israel
are closer than ever before.
Under President Reagan, we
have moved beyond mere
words to extensive political,
military and diplomatic
cooperation. U.S.-Israeli
^strategic planning groups
are coordinating our joint
defense efforts; and we are
directly supporting projects
to augment Israel's defense
industrial base. We support
the legislation pending for an
Israel-U.S. free trade area.
We recognize that attacks
in the UN against Israel are
but thinly disguised attack's

JERUSALEM (WNS) -
Premier Shimon Peres,
leader, of the Labor Party
presented his unity govern- .
ment to the KJnesset Sept. 13
— after 40 days of arduous
inter-party negotiations
which lasted right up to the
very moment of the presentation.
He termed the seyen-party
coalition, which embraces 97
members of the 120-member
Knesset, "a bold and novel
experiment" and said it bore
with it "the genuine hopes of
the nation" for unity that
could transcend political differences."
Peres praised his deputy
premier, Yitzhak Shamir
(Likud-Herut), for "his capability for dialogue and his
desire for genuine cooperation towards a unity government."
Under the coalition agreement, Shamir will replace
Peres as Premier, and Peres
will replace Shamir as deputy premier and foreign minister, 25 jponths into the
Knesset term.
In a brief speech, Peres
listed the economy and
Lebanon as the two top prior"
ity items on the new government's agenda. What was
needed on the former, he declared, was "immediate and
energetic action." He pledged the government would ensure the security of the
northern border, villages in
its quest to end the Lebanon
involvement. And he stressed the constant need to preserve and expand the
strength of the Israeli Defense Force as Israel's
prime guarantee of peace
and security.
His next target, Peres
said, was to expand the
peace process. He called on
all Israel's neighbors to enter peace negotiations and
addressed a special call to

Peres called on Egypt to
return its long-absent ambassador and help develop
the peace treaty with Israel
into "a step towards" much
broader and deeper regional
cooperation.
In a reference to the Soviet
Union, Peres read a moving
cable received Sept. 13 by
President Chaim Herzog and
the Knesset from a group of
Jews in Moscow, Leningrad,
Riga and Odessa, urging Israel to act in their behalf and
help them realize their goal
of aliya. "Our answer is:
your  destiny  is bur  des
tiny . . . we shall never forget," Peres declared.
He urged Moscow to rees1
tablish diplomatic ties with
Israel, "ties severed at a
time of anger." He added
that Israel would "continue
knocking on the closed door
of China."
But. the main focus of the
country's preoccupation and
the new government's efforts, Peres said, was the
home front; He dwelt on the
need to shore up democracy
and the rule of law and spoke
of tolerance as a social value
that it was vital to enhance.
