Israel's Prime Minister Shimon Peres is in Washington D.C.
this week to confer with high-level US officials.His visit follows his
summit with Egyptian President Mubarak last week.This afternoon,
the Israeli leader and President Reagan met at the White House.
NPR's Elizabeth Colton reports.
Israel's Peres comes to Washington only weeks before he is
scheduled to step down from the Prime Minister's post and exchange
roles with the current Foreign Minister,Yitzhak Shamir.This rota-
tion was arranged two years ago as part of Israel's coalition national
unity government.But what was expected to be little more than a
farewell visit for Prime Minister Peres has now taken on a new im-
portance because of Peres' recent achievements towards bringing
peace between Israelis and Arabs.At the White House this afternoon
President Reagan said that the Middle East peace process was the
major topic for discussion.And he praised Prime Minister Peres' ef-
forts in that direction.
'We noted favorable trends in the Middle East,not just the
longing for peace by the Israeli and Arab peoples,but constructive
actions taken by leaders in the region to breathe new life into the
peace process.No one has done more than Prime Minister Peres to
that end.His vision,his statesmanship,and his tenacity are greatly
appreciated here." President Reagan said that other items on the
agenda of his meeting with Prime Minister Peres were American
economic aid to Israel,international terrorism,and Soviet Jewry.
The President assured the Israeli leader that the plight of Soviet
Jewry will remain an important topic in all the talks between the US
and the Soviets.I'm Elizabeth Colton in Washington.
