posed Mideast negotiations
under Resolutions 242 and
338 and "my government is
not prepared to go along
with an act that will under-
mine the negotiations for
peace." -
Arab sources said the Pa-
lestine Liberation Organiza-
tion (PLO) in its speech at
the start of the debate Mon-
day indirectly recognized
Israel's right to exist for the
first time and indicated it
would accept the creation of
a separate Palestinian state
alongside a shrunken Israel.
Arab sources said chief
PLO delegate Farouk Kad-
doumi signaled a policy
shift Monday by indicating
approval of a partition plan
proposed in 1948 by the UN
mediator in the first Arab-
Israeli war, the late Count
Folke Bernadotte.
Bernadotte proposed an
Arab state made up of the

Negev desert, the Gaza Strip
and the West Bank of the
Jordan River; a Jewish state
made up of Galilee and the
coastal area down to the
Gaza Strip; and UN control
of Jerusalem, with all faiths
guaranteed unimpeded ac-
cess to the holy places.
This was rejected by the
Arabs but accepted by the
Jewish Agency. Today,
the UN partition would
leave Israel with about
half the territory it had be-
fore the 1967 war.
Meanwhile, an Israeli of-
ficial confirmed that Secu-
rity Council President
Salim Ahmed Salim of Tan-
zania has been in contact
with Israel's UN Ambassa-
dor Chaim Herzog urging
him to participate in the
Security Council debate
which Israel is boycotting
because of the presence of

force."
The Arabs have inter-
preted the first principle to
mean that Israel must with-
draw from "all occupied ter-
ritory, while the Israelis
have regarded the other
principle to mean that to
have "secure" borders, they
should be permitted to re-
tain some captured land.
The resolution also
stated' the necessity for
guaranteeing freedom of
navigation in the area, a
just settlement of the refu-
gee problem, and estab-
lishment of demilitarized
zones to guarantee territo-
rial inviolability and polit-
ical independence.
Resolution 338, passed
after the October 1973 war,
was brief and called for a
cease-fire, the commence-
ment "immediately" of the
implementation of Resolu-
tion 242, and negotiations
between the parties "under
appropriate auspices" for a
just and durable Middle
East peace.
As a result, the Geneva

lished, with the United
States and the Soviet Union
as co-chairmen. Israel, Jor-
dan and Egypt attended the
only session in December
1973, although Syria was in-
