Compromise urged
NZPA-Reuter Jerusalem Israel’s divided inner Cabinet will probably ask the Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, and Foreign Minister, Shimon Peres to reach a compromise on a Middle East peace conference, Israeli State television said.
The inner Cabinet held Its first crucial debate on such a United Nationssponsored peace conference but failed to reach a decision. The issue is threatening to topple the Government.
Televlsion quoted sources in both Mr Shamir’s Right-wing Likud bloc and Mr Peres’s Labour Party as saying the inner Cabinet would appoint the two men as a committee, which would work out “an agreed formula on the continuation of the political process.” Mr Peres has said he will force early Elections if the Cabinet does not endorse his plan for a peace conference, which he views as the only way to bring Jordan into direct negotiations.
