IflMl willing to discuss piiN^, but only after war, Shamir says By Chariea Hoffman JERUSALEM (JTA)Israel is willing to discuss peace initiatives for th0 poetwar ptriod, but not until the fighting in the Peraian Gulf has ended. Prime Miniatar Yitzhak Shamir indicated Sunday. In an addraea to the Board of Governors of the Jewiah Agency for laraal, which mat in Jeruaalem, the premier aaid, "We are ready—even anxious—to engage in paaoe talka at the appropriate time. But idw can tail what tha Mkldie Eaat and the Gulf regkn win kuk Uka after tiie warT" "What kind of Iraq will UierabarWhatwiUbetiM fata of Jordan? What wiU be Syria'a role in thia war? What will be the fats of Arab governments that are experiencing the trauma of war between Arab countriee?" he asked. Given these uncertaintiea, he aaid, "I submit that we ahould concentrate first on achieving the objectivea of the Gulf war. TlMn, hopefully, we wOl be able to embark on the road to negotationa and peace, in a better climate." Shamir atreased, however, that the international community should have teamed some laaaona from the war that could be applied to the Middle East peace process. Among them, he aaid, are that the
Palestine Liberation Organization, "Saddam Hussein's atauncheat aQy. has been totally diacredited as a factor for peaca.'-' Shamir aaactlid the "proliferation of non-conventional and conventional weapons in thia regkm." saying they are "a diaaatroua conseqaanoa of tba unacnqmlous peUdaa of many industrial stataa. "Wehofiathatthafaitar national coaMnoBlty will, at the enfiVmt opfortaoi-
ty, revise their policy regarding the supply of sophisticated military equipment to non-democratic regimea in the Mkldla East, such aa Iraq," he aaM. The prime miniatar daacribed Israel's domaatk prioritiea, whkh he saM Aould be addreased right •way. He spoke of "the reconstniction of the areas damaged by tbe Scad rateaOaa" and revival of the auflaring touiiat industry.
