David Landau Evaluates Sadat's Bluster and Israel's Response

interim agreement in
1975. At that time, Israel
offered to return a sub-
stantial portion of the
peninsula for "active
components of peace."
The actual agreement
traded a small section of
Sinai for limited peace
components. Govern-
ment spokesmen now
stress that Begin's idea
would involve an open-
ended agreement with
Egypt with no time limit
and thus not simply
another "interim" ac-
cord.
Many observers see this
as a rationalization of the
position taken by the previ-
ous Labor-led government
of Premier Yitzhak Rabin

— a position that Begin
ferociously attacked when
he was in the opposition.
Other government sources
say this formulation origi-
nated with Dayan when
Israeli-Egyptian talks
began to go awry last
January and is not con-
nected to Sadat's recent re-
quest for a goodwill gesture
from Israel.
American sources have
indicated to the JTA that
the U.S. does not attach
much importance to the
idea of a limited agreement,
at least not at this time, and
is directing all its efforts
towards advancing corn-
prehensive peace talks.

In a related development,
Yasir Arafat, leader of the
Palestine Liberation Or-
ganization, accused Presi-
dent Carter of remaining si-
lent in the faCe of what
Arafat called Israel's "mas-
sive liquidation" of civilians
in southern Lebanon.
Charging that Israeli
forces killed 1,180 civilians
in the invasion four months
ago, Arafat asked, "Why
doesn't Carter remember it
as a violation of human
rights?"

Jerusalem,
In
Menahem Begin wel-
comed the U.S. criticism
of Sadat's recent state-
ments as the harbinger of
a general awakening to
Egypt's obstruction of
the peace process.
Reacting to a TV news re-
port of the U.S. criticism,
the premier said: "... as we
anticipated from the outset,
the truth is beginning to
emerge in public opinion in
the world ...."
Some foreign nations and
governments had been "led
astray by misleading prop-
aganda to believe that it
was Egypt which wanted
peace while Israel was
blocking its attainment."
But Sadat's demand for
an Israeli commitment to
total withdrawal "as the
precondition for the very
holding of negotiations
proves that the stumbling
block to peace lies in the un-
reasonable extremism that
holds sway in Egypt," Begin
said.
Israel, he added, put no
pre-conditions to its wil-
lingness to continue negoti-
ations, and it welcomed
Vance's visit to the Middle
East.
Meanwhile, Foreign
Minister Moshe Dayan
told the Knesset that
