Belgians Asked to Oust PLO
as Europe Tightens Security
I s rael, Egypt Halt Dispute,
Peace Process Continuing,
By DAVID LANDAU
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The bitterness between Israel and Egypt
over the • "priority of obligations" issue that soured the post-treaty
signing atmosphere last week seems to have died down, with both sides
plainly determined to "put a lid" on it.
Egyptian Prime Minister Mustapha'Khalil, whose statements re-
garding Egypt's right to aid Syria in an attack on the occupied Golan
Heights had triggered the row, was conciliatory in an interview on
Israeli television over the weekend. He said he was certain both sides
intended to carry out their obligations under the treaty to the letter.
The exchange of instruments of ratification was scheduled
to be held Sunday or Monday at the U.S. electronic monitoring
facility at Umm Hashiba. By mutual consent it has been decided
to keep the event "low-key." Original plans for Foreign Minister.
Moshe Dayan and Egypt's Minister of State Boutros Ghali -to be
present were scrapped.
The scheduled transfer of El Arish to Egypt — the first tangible
move under the treaty — is still set for the end of May and will be the
occasion for another summit meeting between Prime Minister
Menahem Begin and President Anwar Sadat.
Begin used his newly installed "hot line" to Sadat for the first time
last week as part of the effort to cool the dispute over the priority of
obligations issue. The conversation was reportedly convivial, although
Begin made the point firmly that Israel could not accept Khalil's
interpretation. According to the Israeli reading of Article VI, para-
graph 5 of the treaty, Egypt would be barred from intervening in any
war triggered by an attack upon Israel by an Arab state.
Khalil explained that if Israel refused to negotiate over the Golan
with Syria on the basis of the Sinai solution, meaning total withdrawal
for full peace, and if, then, Syria attacked the Golan in a "defensive

BRUSSELS (JTA) — The Arab terrorist attack at the Brussels airport Monday has resulted
in tighter security measures at other European airports and brought demands from the or-
ganized Jewish community of Belgium to oust the Palestine Liberation Organization represen- .
tatives from the country.
The Coordinating Committee of Belgian Jewish Organizations sent telegrams to Justice
Minister Renate Van Elslande and the minister of foreign affairs, Henri Simonet, urging the
government not to permit "those directly or indirectly responsible for the Brussels airport attack
to remain and Work in the country." Specifically, thd committee which represents Belgium's four
major Jewish organizations asked for the closure of the PLO's liaison offices in the country and
the expulsion of its representative in Brussels "before it is too late."
The government officially condemned the attack and "whatever motives promoted it." The
communique recalled that Belgium has ratified the West European treaty against terrorism
and promised to take all necessary measures to prevent a repetition of the incident.
Meanwhile, police sources said the two captured terrorists, Khaled Dayed Dogket
and Mahmoud Hosseini, confessed that they had intended to injure as many El Al
passengers as possible at-Zavantem International Airport. They were quoted as saying
that they threw a hand grenade .

nearly 300,000 Oriental Jews who are in need of added
housing facilities and increased educational opportunities.
Some $5,000,000 in additional pledges have already been
made towards that goal for a five-year period in this year's
drive, which will conclude with a volunteer workers'
cocktail reception at Cong: Shaarey Zedek next Thursday
