We are not closmg our eyes to the obstacles on the road that leads to direct negotiations; but we feel we can make some progress on the real issues lying ahead of us, Peres said.

Shultz said he was encouraged because the talks centered on direct negotiations, adding, Thats where the emphasis needs to be, and thats where it has been. Shamir leads the right-wing Likud bloc, while Peres heads the center-left Labor Party. Their parties are in the third year of a fragile coalition, and the two leaders traded jobs in October 1987.

Shultz reopened talks today with Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir with a pledge the Umted States would oppose a Palestinian state and any effort to force Israel to return to its pre-1967 borders. The two-hour meeting at Shamirs office launched Shultzs second shuttle visit to the Middle East in a month and a new attempt to hold Arab-lsraeli negotiations May 1 to provide some self-rule for Palestiman Arabs. Shamir described the two-hour session as a very good and basic discussion of the essential issues.

Shultz told reporters the two leaders concentrated on the need for direct negotiations between Israel and the Arabs and how they might be structured. Shamir spokesman Avi Pazner said the meeting was held in a friendly spirit but that differences remained over the U.S.-proposed international conference and Shultzs meeting last month with two Arab-American members of the Palestine National Council, the legislative arm of the PLO. Shultz also met today with Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, who supports the U.S. initiative.
