Haig Jr. last night said that the Soviet Union can be expected to increase its influence in the Middle East, primarily through it alliance with Syria, as Yasir Arafat struggles to maintain control of the P.L.O. and foreign forces remain lodged in Lebanon. To protect its interests, the Unit- ed States must demonstrate strong support for Israel while staying out of its internal affairs, not alienate moderate Arab states, and deny the Palestine Liberation Organization a veto in any future peace nego- tiations, Haig said. Speaking before an audience of more than 600 at Congregation B'nai Israel, Haig, who resigned from of- fice one year ago Friday, also said he never gave Israeli Prime Min- ister Menachith Begin a "green light" to invade Lebanon last year, Rnliur pnotoi tv Carl Forlno contrary to allegations by former chairman of the temple's Israel Affairs Commit- president Jimmy Carter.
