Israeli Official Believes 'It Is Now All Up to Sadat'
By MURRAY ZUCKOFF
(Editor-in-Chief, JTA)
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
senior Israeli official said
Tuesday that if President
Anwar Sadat of Egypt ac-
cepts the new American
proposals which Israel ac-
cepted Monday there will be
a peace treaty. It is now all
up to Sadat," the official told
media editors at a working
breakfast meeting at the
Regency Hotel.
Asked if he thought a
peace treaty could be signed
this weekend while
President Carter will be vis-
iting Egypt and Israel, the
official said it was not

realistic to expect it; "but in
a short period of time, yes."
The official, who refused
to divulge the nature of the
American compromise pro-
posals which he said led to
the breakthrough in the
talks between Premier
Menahem Begin. of Israel
and Carter on Sunday af-
ternoon, stated that the new
proposals "do not harm
Egypt" and that they are of
a nature which Sadat can
accept and state publicly
that they constitute a
realistic compromise.
While the official did
not cover any new
ground in the weekend
talks between Begin and
Carter he did focus on a
new element in the Mid-
dle East which he said
was of great concern to
both Israel and the U.S.:
the need to assure the
safety of Saudi Arabia
from either internal up- -
heavals or foreign inva-
sion which would topple
the present government
and thereby possibly dis-
rupt the flow of oil from
that country to the free
world.
"Israel is prepared to do
all it can to help Saudi
Arabia stave off a Com-
munist takeover or an at-
tack from outside forces," he
said. He noted that this had
been an element in the dis-
cussions between Carter
and Begin and that Carter
had viewed sympathetically

a proposal put forth by
Begin in connection with
assuring Saudi Arabia's se-
curity.
It is\now believed the pro-
posal involves turning over
to the U.S. the Etzion air
base in Sinai for defense of
the Persian Gulf oil fields.
Carter reportedly spoke
to Sadat by telephone twice
on Sunday, before and after
meeting with Begin in
Washington. The dramatic
announcement that Carter
was going to the Middle
East was preceded by a six-
hour Israeli Cabinet debate
over the secret proposals
which are supposed to lead
to an Egyptian-Israel
treaty.
The Cabinet voted 9-3
with four abstentions to
accept Begin's recom-
mendations on the pro-
posals.
The Israeli official at the
New York breakfast said
that Carter is undertaking
his present mission to con-
yince Sadat to accept the
new American proposals.
"President Carter doesn't
have to belabor Israel since
we've agreed," he said. He
reiterated that he hoped
Sadat would accept the pro-
posals which, he indicated,
dealt with the issues of au-,
tonomy on the West Bank
and the Gaza Strip and the
issue of the priority of obli-
gations clause in the Camp
David agreements.
The official emphasized
that the Israeli-Egyptian
peace treaty is not a sepa-
rate treaty but a first step to
a treaty with Israel's other _
neighbors. An Israeli-
Egyptian peace treaty, he

The official was asked
what plans Israel had for
obtaining oil once Sinai is .41
returned to Israel. He noted
that Israel had proposed to 1
Egypt that after returning
the Sinai oil wells Israel
would buy oil from Egypt at .4
a fair market price. He said
he thought Egypt would
agree to this because Egypt
- does not need oil for domes-
tic consumption since it is
now exporting oil.
The official als
/ stressed that in the fl
analysis a peace trea
would secure not only Is-
rael's future as the
Jewish homeland but .4
also as the only democ-
racy in the Middle East.
He noted that Israel
stood alone as a demo-
cratic nation in that area
and that in view of the
political upheavals now
going on and future I
possible upheavals, Is-
rael should be
strengthened.
