WASHINGTON, D. C.--Joseph Sisco; who has played the major role in negotiations
for agreements between Israel and Egypt, expressed a firm view, at the press briefing
for
Jewish
editors
White House, Monday afternoon, that the only hope for peace
in the
Middle
East at is the
through an agreement with Cairo.
Asked about the anticipated Hussein statement and the reports of secret agree-
menti purportedly
leading to
acceptance
Israel's retaining, sovereignty over all of
Jerusalem
and a "nominal"
return
of West of Bank
territory – ro Jerdan, Sisco gave the em-
phatic opinion that all hopes for peace must come from agreements with the Egyptian
leaders.
went into details in giving an analysis of the situation, emphasizing that "peace
with Jordan is "distant." "The focus," he stated, "is principally on the West -Bank." He
pointed out that if West Bankers are asked for their views, some would wish to align
themselves with Hussein, in• a Hashemite kingdom, others, hose of Palestinian stock,
would ask for a Palestinian independent State, while a third element still prefers to con-
tinue the terrorism.
Sisco was specific. "Possibility of peace with Jordan is distant," he said. "because
such steps must be taken with Cairo."
The first reports which were said to stbm from "reliable sources" cited occasions
when King.
Hussein was said to have met, in September 1969 and February 1971, with
Abba Eban, Yigal Allon, Moshe Dayan and even with Golda •Meir. Supposedly,'.an- accord,
reached "unofficially," provided for a return of West Bank control to Jordan, but the
only military- semblance it was to have would be the presence not of military but of
Jordanian pnlice. Israeli paramilitary forces supposedly were to remain on the West
Bank.
under the reported agreement, would be under Israeli rule but Jor-

But there remains the conditional point in the report from "reliable sources"—
that the speculated agreement between
