Jordanian Premier Resigns;
Israeli Minister Notes 5 Foreign
Armies on Hussein's Territory
JERUSALEM — The continuing
dispute between the government
of King Hussein and Palestinian
guerrillas in Jordan has seen the
resignation of the prime minister,
Bahjat Talhouni, and the forma-
tion of a new government.
At a press conference, Minister
of Information Israel Galili noted
that there are now five foreign
army, units in Jordan, including
Syrians and Iraqis, who would like
to seT a liquidation of the king-
domJordan.
Such a move would represent
a thr at against the state of Israel,
said Galili, who added, "Israel
will not remain indifferent to any
attempt at undermining the inde-
pendence of the kingdom of Jordan
or her domination by foreign
powers."
Gaul said that sooner or later
there will have to be a confronta-
tion between Hussein and the
terrorists and that Israel must
keep a close eye on develop.
ments.
In spite of daily provocations by
terrorists based on Jordanian soil,
said Galili, Israel is interested in
the independence of Jordan and
has refrained from taking drastic
military steps against Hussein's
regime.
Prime Minister Talhouni pre-
sented his government's resigna-
tion last Friday night at a cabinet
meeting presided over by King
Hussein. Jordanian Information
Minister Salah Aba Zeid, who has
been strongly criticized by the
guerrillas, was not expected to be
included in the new government.
In a speech last weekend, Hus-
sein denounced terrorists attacks
on civilian airliners, but said the
world should also condemn Israeli
attacks on "innocent Arab civil-
ians."
