ers sought by Israel would not be
automatically granted, but that
they would depend on various poli-
tical factors and on Israeli flexi-
bility.
It was made clear that, among
other considerations to .be weigh-
ed, is the degree to which Israel
accepts U.S. views on the occu-
pied territories, particularly the
West Bank of, the Jordan River
and East Jerusalem. Another
factor is the treatment of Arab
refugees and their freedom to
return to the west bank area. An
additional consideration will be
the Israeli attitude towards forth-
coming United Nations decisions
—if the U.S. feels such decisions
contribute to peace an justice
for all the peoples of the Middle
East.
Washington believes that, if the
UN agrees on desirable resolutions
to 'pacify Middle East tensions, by
means of a step-by-step movement
away from the present cease-fire
status, then some "realistic" con-
cessions may be required of Israel.
The U.S. continues to be mind-
ful of the need to avoid returning
to the circumstances which pre-
vailed prior to June 5, but offi-
cials Monday referred to. another
need—for compromise by Israel,
as well as by the Arabs.
