THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, December 71, 1918 5 Vance-Dayan-Khalil Meeting May Lead to New Peace Negotiations JERUSALEM (JTA) — Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan is expected to meet Saturday with Egyptian Premier Mustapha Khalil in Europe, probably in Brussels. This was reported by Israel Radio Wednesday night and was not denied by Israeli officials. Dayan left earlier Wed- nesday for Brussels to hold meetings with the EEC- Israel joint economic com- mission which he co-chairs with West Germany's Hans-Dietrich Genscher. The Dayan-Khalil meet- ing was initiated by U.S. secretary of State Cyrus Vance and, according to Is- raeli sources, Vance himself is to participate in it. The sources said the Dayan-Khalil talk will be about ways to get peace negotiations started again. Observers noted that Dayan's speech to the Knes- set, winding up its lengthy political debate Tuesday night, had been a good deal more optimistic than a statement he made to the house six hours earlier, at the start of the debate. In his closing speech Dayan said it would be wrong to conclude that the deadlock spelled the end of the treaty talks with Egypt. He emphasized Israel's willingness to negotiate further on the letter which is to regulate procedures for the creation of the West Bank/Gaza autonomy. The Knesset demon- strated overwhelming support for the Israeli government's rejection of Egypt's latest peace treaty demands and what The abstentions were by the Labor Alignment which expressed reservations over the autonomy plan for the West Bank and Gaza Strip. But Shimon Peres, chair- man of the Labor Party, stressed that it backed Begin in resisting U.S. and Egyptian "pressure." Dayan said it would be pointless for Israel to reject all of Egypt's demands and then do nothing. He said it was possible that the peace talks will be resumed, not- ing that Israel, for its part, has informed Secretary of State Cyrus Vance that it is willing to negotiate further over the proposed "side let- ter" to the treaty on ar- rangements for Palestinian autonomy. it termed "unjust and one-sided" American support of the Egyptian position. A government motion to that effect was adopted Tuesday night by a vote of 66-7 following a seven-hour debate dur- ing which both coalition and opposition faCtions endorsed Premier Menahem Begin's stance. There were 27 absten- tions and 21 members were absent or did not participate in the voting. The motion accused Egypt of advancing "new tough demands which pre- vented the signing of the peace treaty" and said the U.S. position "does not con- tribute to the advancement of peace." The motion stated, "Israel wants peace and has made many sac- rifices for peace. It will con- tinue to act to achieve peace but it cannot accept pro- posals that put its welfare and security in jeopardy." Meanwhile, Dayan said, Israel could act along other lines. He said it could seek ways of starting talks with other Arab parties, seek ways to give the Palestinians greater independence on a unilateral basis, exam- ine the "frameworks in which Israelis and West Bankers jointly bene- fited, such as common water sources," and strengthen Israeli set- tlements "so as to demon- strate the Israel will not be pushed out of the West Bank." Premier Menahem Begin defended Israel's unqual- ified opposition to the latest Egyptian proposals in an impassioned speech, flatly rejecting U.S. pressure on Israel to east its stand and called on Americans to rec- ognize that Israel is an im- portant factor in the "West- ern world and should not be weakened." He stressed "the mutual aid between the two countries." Declaring that blame for suspension of the peace talks lays entirely with "the other side," Begin insisted that Israel was ready to sign the draft treaty as origi- nally approved but would not sign a peace treaty that would become void of its original content by the in- terpretations attached to it. Dayan charged in his opening statement that the Egyptians retreated from their main contribution to the treaty — the normaliza- tion of relations with Israel. Begin referred at length to the controver- sial issues such as Egypt's demand to alter Article VI, the "priority of agreements" clauses, its proposal to subject the treaty to re-examination after five years and its re- fusal to implement the exchange of ambas- sadors with Israel until the autonomy plan for the West Bank and Gaza Strip is implemented. He charged that these de- mands violated the Camp David agreements and sought to impose Egyp- tian guardianship over the Gaza Strip, not envisaged in the Camp David accords.
