 ISRAEL: PRELIMINARY INDICATIONS OF THE ISRAELI
NEGOTIATING POSITION SUGGEST THAT UN MEDIATOR JARRING
IS BEING GIVEN LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN TEL AVIV.
~=,A MEMORANDUM GIVEN AMBASSADOR BARBOUR BY FOREIGN
MINISTER EBAN ON WEDNESDAY, MAKES IT CLEAR NOT ONLY
THAT ISRAEL ADHERES FIRMLY TO ALL ITS PREVIOUS POSI-
TIONS REGARDING A SETTLEMENT, BUT THAT THE ISRAELIS
ARE NOT WILLING TO ENTER SERIOUS TALKS ON SUBSTANTIVE
PROBLEMS UNLESS THE EGYPTIANS STOP CREATING AN OOUL-
TIMATIVE SITUATION"'--I.E., STOP THREATENING NOT TO
RENEW THE CEASE-FIRE AFTER 5 FEBRUARY. EBAN EVEN
SAID HE WAS CONSIDERING TELLING JARRING THAT A FUR-
THER EXTENSION OF THE CEASE-FIRE IS A CONDITION FOR
ISRAELIS ENTERING TALKS.
THE ISRAELI MEMORANDUM STATES FLATLY THAT NO
ISRAELI TROOPS WILL BE WITHDRAWN FROM ANY POSITION
PENDING AN OVER-ALL SETTLEMENT, THAT ISRAEL WILL
NOT RETURN TO ITS PRE - JUNE 1967 BOUNDARIES, AND
THAT A UNIFIED JERUSALEM WILL "OF COURSE" REMAIN
THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL, THOUGH WITH ARRANGEMENTS FOR
THE ""SPIRITUAL"r INTERESTS OF OTHERS.
IF PRIME MINISTER MEIR TAKES A LINE AS BLUNTLY
TOUGH AS THIS IN HER TALKS WITH JARRING, THE MEDI-
ATOR WILL RETURN TO NEW YORK IN EFFECT WORSE THAN
EMPTY-HANDED. BARRING SOME UNFORESEEN BREAK IN THE
SITUATION, SUCH A DEVELOPMENT ALMOST CERTAINLY WOULD
CAUSE THE EGYPTIANS SERIOUSLY TO CONSIDER CALLING
FOR A MEETING OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL BEFORE THE
CURRENT CEASE-FIRE EXPIRES.

FEDAYEEN-LEBANON-ISRAEL: FEDAYEEN ACTIVITY
ALONG THE LEBANESE-ISRAELI BORDER IS LIKELY TO IN-
CREASE AS. THE COMMANDOS ATTEMPT TO DISRUPT THE
JARRING NEGOTIATIONS. F_ I
ISR L
THE US AMBASSADOR AVIV THAT TENSION IS AL-
READY BUILDING UP ALONG THE BORDER AS FEDAYEEN FROM
JORDAN MOVE INTO SOUTHERN LEBANON.
I THE SEPARATE EFFORTS
OF THE LEBANESE AND ISRAELI ECURITY FORCES ARE
MORE THAN ADEQUATE TO KEEP ANY NEW ACTIVITY IN
CHECK. MOREOVER, THE WEAKENED STATE OF THE COM-
MANDO MOVEMENT RENDERS IT HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT IT
CAN MOUNT ANY SIGNIFICANT CROSS-BORDER OPERATIONS.
