Recognition of Israel's Sovereignty
Primary in Peace Pact, Eban Insists
(Continued from Page 1)
Eban said at this stage Israel ex-
cluded from its concept of a Mid-
east peace settlement the pros-
pect of diplomatic relations and
trade agreements with the Arabs.
He said, however, Israel insists on
an Arab declaration ending their
conflict with Israel and explicit
recognation by the Arabs of Is-
rael's sovereignty, independence
and right to exist.
Eban said the United States con-
tinued to adhere to three basic
principles, an agreed settlement
between the parties, no withdrawth
of Israeli forces before peace is
achieved and the maintenance of
Israel's military strength-
The Israeli foreign minister
said his government was ready to
discuss questions relating to the re-
opening of the Suez Canal outside
the framework of peace talks in
order to "bring about a better at-
mosphere" f o r negotiations. He
said Israel was also ready to
discuss international guarantees of
a- peace settlement after it has
been reached but could not consi-
der such guarantees a substitute
for a settlement.
Eban chided Egyptian Presi-
dent Anwar Sadat ofr putting a
30-day deadline on the latest cease
fire extension. "Whoever thinks
that a conflict of a score of years
can be solved within 30 days is not
serious in his intentions," Eban
said.
Obviously speaking for the ad-
ministration, Assistant Secretary
of State Joseph J. Sisco said on
the CBS television program
"Face the Nation" Sunday that
Jarring "has a very broad man-
date and is acting strictly in ac-
cord with that mandate." He de-
clared that the time has come for
both parties to make "painful
compromises" and take "risks
for peace." Siseo noted that Se-
curity Council Resolution 242,
mandating Dr. Jarring "to pro-
mote an agreement between the
two parties," and the US. peace
initiative of June 1970, gives the
UN mediator "very wide latitude
indeed."
Since both sides are committed
to the Council resolution and the

U.S. initiative, "no procedures are
barred," Sisco added.
Israeli diplomatic circles told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency that
there was nothing "surprising" in
Sisco's remarks. They said that
Israel has been aware of the Amer-
ican attitude and is convinced that
Washington was making a serious
error in backing the Jarring move.
The cabinet was to meet again on
Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Knesset Presid-
ium refused to recognize a conten-
tion by two opposition factions that
the latest Jarring move created a
situation of urgency, and rejected
their demand for an immediate
full-dress Knesset debate. The de-
mand was made by Gahal and the
State List. The presidium stated
that the Jarring move would not be
taken up during the current ses-
sion unless the government pre-
sented the chamber with a policy
statement on foreign affairs alllud-
ing to it-
Of more immediate concern was
Sadat's interview published in
Newsweek magazine. Sadat said
that in exchange for an Israeli
withdrawal to a line behind El
Arish, he would be prepared to
reopen the Suez Canal within six
months. El Arish, a coastal town
in eastern Sinai, is only 30 miles
from the old Israeli-Egyptian bor-
der and withdrawal to that point
would be tantamount to withdrawal
from almost all of the Sinai penin-
sula.
Sadat , told Newsweek's senior
editor, Arnaud de Borchgrave,
that he was prepared to accept
an International force at Sharm
el-Sheikh, the strongpoint on the
sontherze tip of the Sinai penin-
sula which controls the Strait of
Tlran and access to Israel's port
of Ellat.
Sadat also said that if Israel
agreed to withdrawal, he would
agree to prolong the current 30-day
cease-fire extension to a "fixed
date." The cease-fire is to expire
on March 7.
On the question of Israel's use
of the Suez Canal, Sadat told the
American editor that he would
agree on condition that Israel first
"fulfilled her obligations under the
UN resolutions."
Sadat was, in effect, restating
Egypt's position that Israel's use
of the waterway could only follow
a solution of the Palestinian refu-
gee problem. Israelis were quick
to point out that Sadat gave no hint
of any intention to conclude peace
or negotiate peace with Israel.
"Every demand leaves an opening
for a new demand," one Israeli
source told the JTA.
Diplomatic sources in London
said Wednesday that Egypt was
preparing- to move Soviet SAM-2
and SAM-3 antiaircraft missiles
across the Suez Canal the moment
Israel withdraws its forces from
the east bank of the waterway.
The sources said that Sadat's
roposal to reopen the canal in six
months if the Israelis pulled back
to a line east of El Arish indicated
that Egypt does not regard the
Suez Canal as an international
waterway in the sense that it is
understood by the United Nations.
- The sources said that Sadat
Sadat made dear in his inter-
view published In Newsweek that
he considered the canal Egyptian
territory and that Israel bad no
business discussing its future.
They said that at the same time
Sadat made a clear distinction
distinction between the canal aid -
the Straits of Thai, which con-
nect the Gulf el Aquaba with the
Red Sea.
According to the diplomatic
sources, Egyptian diplomacy re-
cently has been more effective than
Israeli diplomacy. They said the
constant arguments in public be-
tween Israeli ministers over peace
terms weakened Israel: diplomatic
position.
LA Jewish Community
Had 'Limited' Damage
From Earthquake
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

LOS ANGELES (JTA) — The
Jewish Federation Council of
Greater Los Angeles is in the pro-
cess of assessing the damage in-
flicted on Jewish community cen-
ters, shops, synagogues and private
homes during the earthquake that
shook the Los Angeles area.
Albert Bronstein, federation ex-
ecutive director, told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency that while the
damage suffered by the Los An-
geles Jewish community could not
be immediately assessed, it ap-
peared "limited." "The federation
building," he reported, "sustained
some minor structural damage."
He observed that most people
had suffered greater emotional
shock than actual physical harm.
He informed the JTA that despite ■•■ 11•••
the chaos created by the quake,
most Jewish community activities
were proceeding normally.
