The $98.3 billion tax bill now on its way to the House and the Senate is a package, largely fashioned by a conservative Republican Senator, which has the blessing of a conservative Republican President. But that is not obvious from looking at the bill. For unlike last year's tax package, which brazenly slashed taxes by hundreds of billions of dollars, this one not only raises taxes, but it also closes many of the most egregious loopholes that liberal Democrats have been trying to close for years.

International Israel accepted the deployment plan of the multinational peacekeeping force proposed for Lebanon and presented by Philip C. Habib, the United States special envoy. Its acceptance appeared to remove the most serious obstacle remaining in negotiations on the withdrawal of Palestinian guerrillas from west Beirut. The Cabinet announcement also said that the Israeli Government insisted that ''a check be made of the lists of terrorists to leave Beirut and Lebanon.'' This also represented a softening of an earlier demand that Israel be provided with the names of the guerrillas being evacuated. (Page A1, Column 6.) Reports that Israel's stand had eased in the negotiations on the withdrawal of the guerrillas were treated cautiously by Lebanese and P.L.O. officials. Philip C. Habib, the special United State envoy, was expected back in Beirut today with the latest Israeli negotiating position, which reportedly makes concessions on previous demands that a list of all guerrillas leaving west Beirut be turned over before the evacuation and that a multinational peace force not be deployed until a week after the P.L.O. withdrawal begins. Both demands were unacceptable to the P.L.O. and its Lebanese intermediaries. (A1:5.)

International A final accord on a P.L.O. pullout from west Beirut is being delayed only by minor issues, parties to the agreement said. The differences between Lebanon, the P.L.O. and and Israel have narrowed to the point where they have almost disappeared,'' Prime Minister Shafik al-Wazzan of Lebanon said. He made the remarks after a briefing by Philip C. Habib, the special United States envoy, who returned to Beirut from Jerusalem. (Page A1, Columns 1-2.) Egypt has again told the United States that it will not accept any Palestinian guerrillas evacuated from west Beirut unless the Reagan Administration makes a commitment to bring about an overall Middle East settlement, including self-determination for the Palestinians. In messages to the United States charge d'affaires in Cairo, Egypt also said it would not consider a resumption of suspended talks with Israel about Palestinian autonomy as long as Israeli forces remain in Lebanon.

Less than a year ago Bryant Gumbel was a full-time sportscaster for NBC. At the time, he freely admits, he would have been hard pressed to recognize such names as Moshe Arens, Zehdi Terzi and Yehuda Z. Blum - just three of the Middle East newsmakers that he interviewed in the space of a recent week in his new job as co-host of ''Today.''
