Treaty
Signed
By DAVID LANDAU
UM HASHIBA (Sinai)
(JTA) — Israel and Egypt
are formally at peace. At a
brief but dignified and mov-
ing ceremony at the U.S.
monitoring facility late
Wednesday afternoon two
senior officials exchanged:.;
the instruments of ratifica-
tion which formally brings
the treaty into effect.
Within one month the two
parties are commited to
begin negotiations on the
next stage of the peace proc-
ess Palestinian au-
tonomy.
The exchange of instru-
ments was delayed for al-
most three hours due to two
last-minute hitches. A
crowd of dignitaries and 75
newsmen from each side
was kept waiting while Eli
Ben-Elissar, director of
Premier Menahem Begin's
office, and senior Egyptian
diplomat Saad Afra, and
their legal aides, fought
over the last disputed mat-
ters.
The hitches were:
• Egypt wanted to
ensure that the ratification
applied to all the compo-
nents of the treaty package
— including the "joint let-
ter" from Sadat and Begin
to President. Carter commit-
ting themelves to pursue
the autonomy negotiations.
• Israel was anxious
about an Egyptian formula-
tion in the Egyptian in-
strument of ratification
which omitted the word
"inhabitants"- when refer-
ring to the West Bank au-
tonomy. (Israel's position is
that the autonomy will be
granted to the inhabitants
of the territories, not to the
territories as such).
The ceremony, though
low-key in that only offi-
cials _and not ministers•
were involved, and de-
spite the long delay, was
nevertheless memorable.
For the first time Israeli
and Egytpian honor
guards stood side by side
and presented arms to-
gether as the two flags —
and the U.S. and UN flags
— were hoisted. Two mili-
tary bands played the
two anthems together,
conducted once by the
Egyptian bandmaster
and once by the Israeli.
There was much good-
spirited fraternizing be-
tween Egyptian and Israeli
guests — many of whom
were parliamentarians,
high army officers and Yom
Kippur War veterans. The
24-man honor guards and
40-member bands also
laughed and joked together.
Ambassadors Samuel
Lewis and Herman Eilts
were present for the U.S.
Each of them, in his brief
remarks, stressed the U.S.
commitment to remain in-
volved in the peace process,
and Eilts dwelt on Ameri-
ca's intention to help secure'
the political peace by
encouraging economic de-
velopment.
The wicked are over-
thrown.
