The joint body is respon- sible for facilitating the im- plementation of the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty which took effect offi- cially April 25. They will meet alternately at Beersheba and El Arish, beginning after the latter town is returned to Egyp- tian sovereignty May 26. Meanwhile, a second pre- liminary meeting was scheduled for next Monday. in Sinai on the El Arish- Kantara road. Another joint committee will begin its deliberations in Tel Aviv shortly to im- plement the military as- pects of the peace treaty, 'chiefly the details of Israel's phased withdrawal from Sinai. Defense Minister Ezer Weizman, who re- turned to Jerusalem Friday after a three-day visit in Cairo, indicated that all was going well and relations be- tween himself and Egyptian officials were excellent. Weizman met with Egyptian War Minister Kamal Hassan Ali. The most substantive news of the visit was provided by Hassan Ali who spoke to Israeli journalists. The Egyptian war minister appeared relaxed and made no attempt to evade questions on delicate subjects. He said that Is- rael's actions against the Palestinians in south Lebanon would not affect the negotiations with Egypt because they were viewed in Cairo as purely defensive with no thought of gaining terri- tory. However, he warned that if Israel wanted to avoid an obstacle on the road to nor- malizing its relations with Egypt and to continue the peace process, it would have to discontinue its settle- ment activities on the West Bank. "It will be very difficult for us even to try to per- suade the Palestinians to stop shooting and start talk- ing if the settlements are continued," Hassan AIi said.

Let - those (Arabs) who broke off rela- tions with us understand that we shall not retreat," he said. "God- willing, the peace operation and the normalization of relations will continue." Sadat added, in his speech at the Red Sea town of Safaga, "If Israel makes one step forward,- we shall match it with 'two steps to encourage it." He was espe- cially bitter toward Saudi Arabia, Egypt's principal financial backer since the Yom Kippur War, and ac- cused the Saudis of bribing other Arab states to sever relations, with Egypt. He charged that the Saudis themselves were blackmailed by the lead- ers of Syria, Iraq, Libya and the Palestinians. "Saudi leaders become the tools of Libya's mad boy Qaddafi, the Soviet Union and the ruling party leaders of Syria and Iraq," he said. Sadat did not rule out a cut-off of Saudi money to ante Egypt's purchases of weapons from the U.S. But he said revenues from the Suez Canal and the Sinai oil fields, once they are re- turned to Egypt, would compensate for the expected loss. Sadat pledged to do his utmost to advance the es- tablishment of a Palesti- nian state on the West Bank and Gaza Strip but said he would not negotiate with Is- rael to return the Golan Heights to Syria.
