Israelis Concerned by Reaction on Agreement
By DAVID LANDAU
JERUSALEM (JTA)-
The mood of near exaltation
that permeated Jerusalem
RELAXING AT
THE SAXONY
IS MIAMI.
Sunday, when it seemed
that by accepting America's
latest Geneva proposals
Israel had opened the way
for resuming the peace con- I
ference, has very quickly
dissipated. It has been
replaced, in fact, by fears of
a new row lodming with
America — and the begin-
nings of what seem to be
burgeoning into angry and
possibly damaging diplo-
matic exchanges.

public voice Monday to
Washington's view that the
Israel Cabinet statement
Sunday that had purported
to accept the U.S. proposals
in fact created new condi-
tions which had not been
agreed upon by Washington.
At his meeting with
Dayan Monday evening, it
is reliably understood,
Vance was a good deal
more categorical, sharply
criticizing both the very
publication and the actual
content of the Israel Cabinet
statement.
The text of the Israel
statement said:
"The cabinet has decided
to authorize the foreign min-
ister to inform the Presi-
dent of the U.S. that the
Israel government accepts
the President's proposal on
the conditions relating to
the convocation of a firther
session of the Geneva con-
ference. These are:
A—A united Arab delega-
tion representing all the
Arab states participating in
the Geneva conference will
take part in the ceremonial
opening session. -
B—Arabs of Ertez Yisrael
who are not known as mem-
bers of the "PLO" may par-
ticipate in the united delega-
tion. Palestinian Arabs will
not participate in the open-
ing session as a separate
body, but as part of the Jor-
danian delegation.
C—No negotiation what-
soever will be conducted
with the united delegation.
D—After the opening ses-
sion the united delegation
will split up into delegations
representing the various
states in order to conduct
negotiations on the matters
pertaining to each of these
states separately."
Israeli officials also
insisted that agreement was
also contingent on continued
U.S. opposition to any
change in UN Resolution
242.
On Sunday and again on
Wednesday Israeli officials
insisted that this text faith-
fully represented the Ameri-
can proposal as made ver-
bally Sept. 19 by Carter to
Dayan in Washington and as
transmitted thereafter by
Dayan to Jerusalem.
The officials admitted
that the precise wording —
for instance the reference to
"Eretz Yisrael Arabs..."—
was drawn up in Jerusalem,
but they were adamant that
no substantive embellish-
ment had been undertaken.
American anger is
directed to Israel's irregu-
lar action in publishing a
proposal specifically attri-
buted to the U.S. President
which the President himself
had not seen fit to publish.
Moreover, there appears to
be discord between the two
countries over the sub-
stantive content of the pur-
ported proposal — espe-
cially the content of the key
paragraph B.
An American source
spoke of "the very original
way" in which Israel had
behaved — his words spo-
ken with heavy cynic is m.
But Israeli sources Wednes-
day indicated that it had
been Washington, not
Jerusalem, that sought "to
have it both 'ways" by enun-
ciating deliberately vague
formulations and preferring
to keep them unpublished in
the hope of retaining suf-
ficient flexibility to satisfy
both sides. Israel, however,
had deliberately decided to
publish the American pro-
posal "in order to nail it
down" these sources
indicated. They could not
explain, though, why this
publication had been done in
the form of a direct and offi-
cial answer to Carter.
The U.S. proposal, after
all, had not been put for-
ward in writing by Washing-
ton, whereas the Israel Cab-
inet statement appeared to
imply that it had.
Meanwhile, at the UN on
Tuesday Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko
told the General Assembly
that the Soviet Union favors
the early reconvening of the
Geneva conference with the
participation of the Pales-
tine Liberation Organization
but charged that Israel's
policies are the main
obstacle toward that goal.
Secretary Vance, speak-
ing to reporters after a 90-
minute meeting with UN
Secretary General Kurt
Waldheim said that while he
was "very pleased" with
Israel's acceptance of a
pan-Arab delegation at Gen-
eva, the conditions attached
by Israel "do not accurately
reflect our views."
He said he shared the
Israeli view that "there
should be bilateral dis-
cussions" between the
Israelis and individual Arab
delegations but "as to the
other conditions there are
differences between us."
Vance noted that "some
of the parties" Had said
that there would be no
checking of credentials and
there should be no well-
known PLO members at
Geneva. Israel has cate-
gorically ruled out any PLO
presence but conceded it
could not check the Palesti-
nians for pro-PLO
sympathies.
Vance said the U.S. posi-
tion was that if the PLO
accepted resolution 242
which guarantees Israel's
right to exist within secure
borders, the U.S. would talk
to the PLO but whether
PLO people were admitted
to Geneva depended on
agreement by all of the par-
ties to the conference.
State Department spokes-
man Hodding Carter told
reporters Monday, "I think
we believe we're going to
have a Geneva conference
before the end of the year."
Gromyko's address did
not contain the usual polem-
ics but was nevertheless
severe toward Israel. He
said that the USSR, as co-
chairman of the Geneva
conference, would do "its
best to have it convened and
work successfully and
expects the other co-chair-
man, the U.S. to follow this
line too."
He declared that the
Soviet Union reiterates once
again "that Israel has a
right to exist as an inde-
pendent, sovereign state in
the Middle East," adding
that "on behalf of the Soviet
leadership, I will say again
that we have adhered and
will continue to adhere to
precisely that line." But he
also said, "We have been
and remain advocates of the
right cause of the Arabs
whose lands have been
unlawfully taken away and
are still retained by the
force of arms. Those lands
must unconditionally be
returned to the Arab
peoples."
Gromyko asked, "Why
shouldn't Israel take advan-
tage of the opportunity that
presents itself and agree to
a genuinely just settlement
in the Middle East? This
would, after all, be in its
own national interests too."
He warned that the Middle
East is the most dangerous
hot bed of war in the world
and declared that as long as
Israel did not withdraw
from the Arab lands it
seized in 1967 and as long as
the rights of the Arab
people of Palestine, "includ-
ing its right to self-determi-
nation and the creation of a
state of its own" are not ful-
filled, there can be no
durable peace in the region.
Egyptian Foreign Min-
ister Ismail Fahmy told the
UN on Wednesday that his
country requires the follow-
ing for a Middle East
peace: withdrawal of Israeli
forces from all territories
occupied since 1967, estab-
lishment of an independent
Palestinian state, -the right
of the Palestinian people to
return to their homes and to
self-determination, Israel
must relinquish East
Jerusalem, establishment of
a nuclear free zone in the
Nfiddle East, regulation of
traditional armaments and
a halt to the present Israel
immigration policies.
In a long, sharply-worded
speech accusing Israel of
aggression and expansion-
ism, Fahmy declared: "If
the situation remains stag-
nant, an explosion will
become inevitable, an
explosion that will draw all
previous ones with no one in
the world safe from its dev-
astating material and spirit-
ual consequences."
Fahmy rejected the idea
of a united Arab delegation
at Geneva.
He also said that the
Arabs are prepared to
accept Israel if the Jewish
state is prepared "to be
bound by legitimacy and the
supremacy of law... We
accept for the first time the
call for creating normal
conditions. under which the
Palestinian people can give
expression to their capabili-
ties and talents. This is
where the key to the situa-
tion and the drive for peace
lies."
The Egyptian foreign min-
ister presented the Assem-
bly with a draft resolution
calling for the con-
demnation of Israel for the
Jewish settlements on the
West Bank. According to the
Egyptian statement, Israel
has established in the last 10
years 85 settlements in the
territories seized in the Six-
Day War.
Israel's Ambassador to
the United Nations, Chaim
Herzog, told the General
Assembly Friday that the
Arabs' desire to accumulate
anti-Israel resolutions "is
apparently insatiable," and
warned that the "obsession"
of the Assembly with Israel
can "endanger the progress
of the critical talks now tak-
ing place" in the New York
between American officials
' and foreign ministers of
Mideast countries.
Herzog noted that there
are over 20 agenda items
this year which deal with
Israel and the Mideast
conflict.
Prior to the opening of the
General Assembly, U.S.
Ambassador Andrew Young
told the Synagogue Council.
of America annual dinner
that many of the anti-Israel
resolutions supported by the
Third World nations were
really directed at the U.S.

JCCouncil Hits
U.S. Statements
The Jewish Community
Council has protested to
President Carter recent
Administration statements
which "convey the impres-
sion" the U.S. is "leaving
the door open to PLO partic-
ipation" at the Geneva
peace conference.
"This is inconsistent with
stated American policy... of
non-contact with that terror-
ist organization until such
time as they stop seeking
the destruction of the state
of Israel and reject terror-
. ism as a tactic."
The Council's telegram,
signed by president John
Shepherd, also reminded
Carter that UN Resolutions
242 and 338 call for negotia-
tions only between sover-
eign states.
