Egypt 'Omission' Leads to Dispute

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel was embroiled in new controversies with Egypt and the United
States over the weekend following publication in the three countries of the Israeli-Egyptian draft
peace treaty text and the release by Israel of Annex III to the treaty, which covers in detail how
normal relations are to be established between Israel and Egypt.

The fresh dispute with Egypt arose over the omission from the Arabic text published in
the semi-official Cairo newspaper Al Ahram Thursday of Article VI, which Israel calls
the "heart" of the peace treaty.

The new differences with Washington stemmed_ from Secretary of State Cyrus Vance's asser-
tion, in a New York Times interview Friday, that the Israeli Cabinet's acceptance of the draft
treaty last week does not mean that negotiations are ended because no agreement has been
reached between the parties on the key element of a timetable for implementing the autonomy
scheme on the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
That was the one element that the Cabinet refused to accept and Vance's remarks gave rise to
fear in Israeli circles that the U.S. intends to exert pressure on Israel for concessions on that issue.
Article VI of the treaty draft establishes that the Israeli-Egyptian treaty takes precedence over
any past treaties or agreements that either country may have entered into with respect to the
Middle East conflict. In essence, it would nullify anti-Israeli pacts signed by Egypt in past years.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Israeli government appeared Tuesday to
have foreclosed any further compromise on the issue of a linkage timet-
able in its treaty negotiations with Egypt and has asked the United
States, in effect, to stop trying to influence the Egyptian government to
accept the compromise Israel has rejected.
Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan made this request to Washington, it
was learned, with the full backing of Premier Menahem Begin. The U.S.
is believed to have proposed a "side letter" to accompany an Israeli-
Egyptian peace treaty that would commit both countries to negotiate
continuously and in good faith with the objective of holding elections for
autonomous councils on the West Bank and Gaza Strip by the end of
1979. Egyptian officials expressed shock and disappointment at the
Israeli decision.
Dayan has stated that the idea of a pre-fixed date for elections posed a
"serious danger" for Israel. He said he would oppose this even if the
period for negotiations was extended from one year to two.
Dayan contends that the negotiations and implementation of
the autonomy scheme provided in - the Camp David framework
must proceed of their own accord without being tied to a specific
date ,or other agreements. -
Meanwhile, U.S. officials said in Washington that President Carter
and Egyptian Prime Minister Mustapha Khalil will discuss Egypt's
