President Clinton does not plan to shuttle between Damascus and Jerusalem next month in a bid to revive Israeli-Syrian negotiations, according to spokesman Joe Lockhart. He added that an Israel Radio report of the shuttle is “not accurate.” Meanwhile, Clinton officials said Martin Indyk will again become ambassador to Israel. Currently assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, Indyk will swap posts with Ambassador Edward Walker, the officials added. Indyk was the U.S. envoy to Israel between 1995 and 1997.
