Jerusalem (JTA)—Official caution here contrasted with rioting by youths and guerrilla bands in Amman as the Israeli government deliberated its response to the American peace initiative and pro-Palestinian Jordanians protested the Hussein government's acceptance of it. The Israeli cabinet held a lengthy and secret session and issued a noncommittal statement. It was believed that'Israel is seeking three major guarantees, from Jhe' United States before accepting its proposal: " ~ The guarantees are that the U.S. make clear how (he Arab states can be prevented from using the proposed three-month-or-more'cease-fire for an unchallenged military buildup; that the U.S. agree (hat renewed mediation by United Nations representative Dr. Gunnar V. Jarring be unconditional, that is, without a prior Israeli withdrawal
from occupied territories; and That the U.S. commit itself unequivocally to the, maintenance of -Israeli independence and security. The generally favorable attitude toward the U.S. plan by the Israeli Ministers is believed to have been directly inspired by President Nixon's reassuring message to Premier Golda Meir last Friday. The rightist, nationalistic Gahal Min-. isters, do not fully share the Premier's optimism. Itrwasi'eported'ihat Washington" and Moscow have agreed that the U.S. will not sell Israel any more jets If the Soviet Union wil not send Egypt any more weaponry. It is believed that American pressure on Israel to accept the U.S. plan emphasizes the probability of adverse world reaction to a rejection, rather than dangling the threat of a jet cutoff.

Arab Nations Split In Amman, rioting broke out in the streets as young Jordanians sympathetic to the Pales-' • tinlan cause expressed their rage over the Jordanian cabinet's acceptance of the U.S. plan. With Egypt, Jordan and the Sudan having accepted the American initiative, Iraq and Syria having condemned it and the guerillas having rejected it outright, the Arab League has suffered a serious split. " Israel is reportedly very much aware that the spotlight Is now on her more intensely than it hag been in many months. Although she has criticized aspects of the U.S. plan, notably the cease-fire, she will now find it very difficult, if not impossible, to reject It out.of hand in the face of its acceptance by the two top Arab leaders. A favor* able response is thus expected. '

The ADL counsel said that Japan Air lines has been stalling since K678n a mutual air agreement with Israel. Such an agreement would provide landing rights in Japan for Israel's El Al Airlines and the same rights in Israel for JAL whose Europe-Far East flights pass over the Mideast.

Mr. Forster said however that JAL showed some signs of changing its position. Its representatives went to Israel for talks last month and an Israeli delegation is scheduled to meet with Japanese 'air authorities In Tokyo this month. The ADL counsel said the big Japanese firms had surrendered to Arab boycott demands
in part because the Japanese Government, despite its friendly relations with Israel, failed to adopt a policy that would protect Japanese industry from Arab pressures. He noted that defiance of the Arab boycott in other nations is relatively widespread because their governments took firm o p p o s i n g measures,
