TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is- raeli military circles have warned against a new threat on the eastern front, once an Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty is signed, that may explode into hostilities involving the. combined forces of Syria and Iraq. Reports from various Arab capitals indicated that those countries are pooling their military strength on a large scale. were Tensions - heightened by Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasir Arafat's warn- ing in Amman that "the whole Middle East will explode if Sadat signs the pact" with Israel and his thinly -veiled assassination threat against Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. The Syrian govern- ment's official news- paper, Tishrin, warned that a peace treaty be- tween Israel and Egypt would leave no choice but war to the confronta- . tion states, Syria and Iraq. The Kuwaiti daily, Al-Siyassa, reported that three Iraqi divisions have entered Syria in the past few days under their re- cent agreement to estab- lish a joint military com- mand. Israeli military circles claimed that Iraq and Syria are secretly speeding up their agreement to counter a peace treaty. According to the Israelis, the agreement calls for Iraqi units to be stationed in Syria in sup- port of Syrian forces facing Israel. Arafat met with King Hussein of Jordan at the Mafraq air base to discuss possible action against the peace treaty. Meanwhile, a U.S. delegation headed by President Carter's Na- tional Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski was in Amman for meetings with Hussein. The dele- gation was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to meet with King Khaled. The purpose apparently was to convince the Saudis and Jordanians to take no overt action against the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty if they continue to boycott the peace process it- self.
