rael, Saudi Arabia and
"Q. Does our own Gov-
Egypt underscored "a con-
ernment agree with this
sistent Administration pol-
view?
"A. Our State Depart-
ment does not deny the
rights of Israel, under the
Palestine Mandate, to settle
in the West Bank and the
Gaza Strip. It relies instead
on a provision of the Geneva
Convention, which forbids a
military occupant from de-
porting native inhabitants
and replacing them with its
own population. The Article
was drafted with Nazi occu-
pation policy in mind. Since
Israel is not deporting Arab
populations, or driving
Arabs from their homes to
make room for Jewish set-
tlements, and since Israel
isn't in the West Bank sol-
ely as a military occupant,
Article 49 of the Geneva
Convention can have no
bearing on the problem in
the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip. Sovereignty there has
not been vested in any state,
and so there are no
sovereign rights to protect.
"I believe our government
is yrrong on this issue, cer-
tainly as to the West Bank
and Gaza, and probably as
to the Sinai as well.
"Q. Jordan used to hold
the West Bank. Doesn't it
have better right to it
than Israel?
"A. Jordan held the West
Bank as the military occup-
ant between 1948 and 1967
after a war of aggression. It
tried to annex the West
Bank in 1951. But no other
Arab state has recognized
Jordanian sovereignty
there. Nor has the United
States. Israel's claim to the
area under the Mandate is
at least as good as that of
-Jordan. In fact, some ex-
perts consider it to be better,
because Israel occupied the
area in 1967 after a war of
self-defense. According to
U.N. Security Council Re-
solution 242, adopted in
1967, Jordan and Israel are
to reach agreement on the
future of the areas and then
make peace. But, as I said,
Hussein still refuses to do
that.
"Q. Speaking of refus-
als, why has Begin re-
fused to respond to
Sadat's peace initiative?
"A. Begin has responded.
He has made the four major
concessions I mentioned
earlier — all in advance of
actual negotiations.
"To speak of Begin's lack
of response is to put the shoe
on the wrong foot: it is, in
fact, Sadat who has failed to
respond to the official view
of the UN Security Coun-
cil."
