Israel to U.S.:
Now deal with Syria and Iran

JERUSALEM—Two
of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's senior aides
will go to Washington for separate talks this week. National Security
Advisor Efraim Halevy will discuss the regional implications of the
Iraq war and the fall of the Ba'ath regime, and the prime minister's
bureau chief Dov Weisglass will bring the White House Israel's
comments on the "road map" plan for a peace settlement.
Israel will suggest that the United States also take
care of Iran and
Syria because of their support for terror and pursuit of weapons
of mass destruction. Israel will point out the support of Syria and
Iran for Hezbollah, which the U.S. considers an important target
in the war against international terrorism.
American officials recently said in closed conversations
that the
U.S. will act against Syria and Iran, but not by military means. The
American administration is very angry with Syria for its support of
Iraq during the war and its willingness to take in defectors from
Saddam Hussein's regime.
As for Iran, the administration suggests working with
the UN and
Atomic Energy Commission to halt the Iranian nuclear program.
Weisglass is scheduled to meet National Security Advisor
Condoleezza Rice and present Israel's reservations on the road
map. Senior government sources said Weisglass's goal is
"to make sure things that disturb us won't happen."
The administration has made it clear in advance that
it is not ready
to reopen the road map for discussion and will present it to both
sides as is, after the new Palestinian government headed by Abu
Mazen is sworn in. Israeli sources assume Weisglass will try to
reach "agreed principles to implement the plan" with the
Americans
that will take Israel's "red lines"into consideration.
Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom spoke with his U.S.
counterpart
Colin Powell on Friday to prepare for the talks. Shalom said
Israeli comments on the road map were meant "to facilitate its
implementation," and explain the political pressures on Sharon's
government. He said "our comments will help get the road map
approved by the cabinet."
