Title Israel and U.S. Relations at low EBB.
Scope and content Relations between Israel and the United States are at a very low ebb at the moment. The cause of the tension is Israel's request for loan guarantees from the United States to cover the cost of immigrant absorption. Although the loan guarantees themselves do not cost the American tax payer any money, President Bush would rather see the matter put off until after the proposed Middle East peace conference. Prime Minister Shamir told the President that he sees no linkage between the guarantees and the peace process. At the best of times relations between Shamir and Bush are not very good. The proposal for congress to agree to the guarantee in principle, but make it available after the 120 days demanded by the President, may be a solution to the problem. Adding fuel to the fire, Minister without Portfolio Rehavam Ze'evi accused President Bush of being an anti-semite and anti-Israel. There was an almost immediate repudiation by Foreign Minister Moshe Arens who said that this view was not shared by most of the Israeli government or the people. Arens vent on to explain that Ze'evi's right wing Moledet (Homeland) party only held two of the 120 seats in the Knesset. This afternoon saw U.S. Secretary of State James Baker arriving in Israel for a short one day visit. The question of the loan guarantees was on the agenda as well as discussion on procedural issues for the proposed peace conference. Photo shows: The picture shows a demonstration outside the U.S. embassy in Tel-Aviv protesting at the linkage between the peace process and the guarantees.
