    Recommendation on Peace and Christian Presence in Palestine and Israel 
Before Assembly 
 
    by Nancy Rodman 
 
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--The Assembly Committee on Peacemaking, International 
Service and Concerns will recommend that the Assembly call on the United 
States government to make continued aid and military assistance to Israel 
contingent on Israel's fulfilling the terms of the Oslo Accords. 
    The Assembly would call on Israel to allow and cooperate with United 
Nations' teams investigating the conditions of Palestinians living in both 
Israel and the occupied territories.  It would encourage Presbyterians to 
continue to visit the region, study the issues, and share information 
throughout the church and society.  The General Assembly Council would 
organize an official visitation by a small but widely representative team 
from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to areas under the jurisdiction of 
Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and neighboring countries.
