REAGAN WILL PROBABLY PREFER ISRAELI ASSISTANCE IN
SUCH AN OPERATION TO REMAIN UNNOTICED. BUT AT A
TIME WHEN THERE IS GROWING PUBLIC RESENTMENT IN
THE U.S. OVER ITS INSISTENCE ON AN EXPLICIT
AMERICAN DEMAND FOR THE RELEASE OF THE PRISONERS,
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ISRAEL TO MAKE IT PUBLIC THAT
IN THE WAKE OF A SIMILAR DEMARCHE THE ISRAELI AIR
FORCE DID NOT ATTACK SHI'ITE BASES IN THE BEKA'A
VALLEY OF LEBANON, WHERE OTHER AMERICAN HOSTAGES
WERE BEING HELD."
VIII. MAARIV COMMENTS: "AMERICA IS NOT ASKING
ISRAEL TO RELEASE THE 700 SHIITES BROUGHT FROM
SOUTH LEBANON TO ATLIT. IT IS, HOWEVER, GIVING US
A GENTLE REMINDER THAT IN AMERICAN EYES, THE
TRANSFER OF THESE PRISONERS TO ISRAEL WAS A BREACH
OF INTERNATIONAL LAW."

TOWARDS NEGOTIATIONS ON THE FUTURE OF THE
TERRITORIES, ISRAEL RADIO REPORTS. ALIGNMENT
