JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Interior Minister Yosef
Burg predicted Sunday that
Jordan may join the peace
talks within the next sev-
eral months. "I expect that
in the next few months, Jor-
dan will change its views
and will join the delibera-
tiOns," he told the visiting
members of the Council of
Europe's Political Sub-
committee for Mideast Af-
fairs.
Burg gave no basis for his
belief, but in an interview in
Maariv he said he has "a
corner" on certain informa-
tion but "I will kill the mat-
ter if I publicize it. I do not
want to burn the source to
that information."
The interior minister
suggested that King Hus-
sein might change his oppo-
sition to joining the peace
talks because Hussein, like
other Mideast kings and
Persian Gulf shiekhs, was
concerned by the rise of
Ayatollah Ruholla Kho-
meini in Iran and the Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion.
Burg ruled out any
talks with the PLO. "If
the PLO would say they
accept (United Nations
Security Council Resolu-
tion) 242, I would not be-
lieve them as long as they
do not renounce the
Palestinian covenant."
He said he would only be-
lieve a "new era" has
come if there were sev-
eral years without any
terrorism.
Burg said he opposed any
autonomy for Palestinians
on the West Bank and Gaza
Strip "that would lead to
sovereignty." He said such a
situation would cause "too
much dynamism in the
region's global policy and
would be explosive." But he
said he will meetmith Arab
leaders in the territories
during the next few days to
see whether they will join
the autonomy talks.

Sadat was welcomed on
his third visit to Israel by
President Yitzhak Navon.
Initiating a highly informal.
welcoming ceremony,
Navon told the Egyptian
president that "whether you
come by land, air or sea, you
will always reach the same
destination: the hearts of
our people." Adding that the
differences of opinion which
separate the two sides
should be mutually re-
garded as conquerable chal-
lenges, Navon voiced his
hopes that "in the future,
not only will the flags of Is-
rael and Egypt decorate our
streets, but so will the flags

Following a 21-gun salute
and playing of the Egyptian

presidential party was then
taken to the gates of the
city, where Haifa Mayor
Arye Gur welcomed him
traditionally with bread
and salt.

It is one of only three set-

Beginning in October it

the Arabic-language news-
paper, Al-Anba, with Heb-
ron Mayor Fahed
Kawassme who praised
Jordan for its help to the
Palestinians. "Despite our
desire to establish a Pales-
tinian state, we do not want
to detach ourselves from
Jordan," he said in the
interview.
The European delegation
also met with Foreign
Minister Moshe Dayan for a
"private" luncheon, where
they reportedly voiced their
concern to him over the in-
creased isolation of Israel
among European nations.
This, they contended, has
been generated in part due
to the growing ties between
the PLO and the European
states.

UNITED
NATIONS
The controversial
(JTA)
United Nations-produced
film on the Palestine Liber-
ation Organization, "The
Palestinians Do Have
Human Rights," was
screened here last week for
reporters and diplomats and
the reaction by both Arabs
and Israelis was less than
enthusiastic.
"It is a one-sided film
which distorts the basic
facts of the Arab-Israeli con-
flict," said Nachman Shai,
the Israeli spokesman at the
UN. "The film," he contin-
ued, "tries very hard to ap-
pear objective and even-
handed, but everybody who
is familiar with the facts
can tell it is only a PLO
propaganda piece."
Lebanese Ambassador
Ghassam Tueni found the
film "disappointing." He
said the film failed to under-
line that the Palestinian
problem started with the
beginning of Zionism and
not with the creation of the
state of Israel. Hassan
—
Abdel Rahman, of the PLO,
simply described the film as
"bland."
The 55-minute, $80,000
film was produced at the
request of the 23-member
Committee on the Exer-
cise_ of the Inalienable
Rights of the Palestinian
People — a committee
which Israel charges
supported the PLO plan
to destroy Israel in
stages.
The film was completed
last year but at the last
moment the PLO and its
supporters expressed dis-
pleasure with the final
product as not being "pro-
Palestinian" enough. Israel
also requested, and was
granted, the deletion of a
part showing Foreign
Minister Moshe Dayan ad-
dressing the General As-
sembly.
The present version of the
film depicts the plight of the
Palestinian people as being
the result of Israel's aggres-
sion and continuing policy
of expansion.
In an attempt at objectiv-
ity, the film admits the PLO
resorted to acts of violence
and terrorism. Yasir
Arafat, the PLO leader, in
an interview during the
film, asserts, hbwever, that
"we are against violence"
and that the violence of his
organization should be
examined as one aspect of
the whole conflict.
Throughout the film,
the narrator and various
PLO spokesmen say that
as long as the Palesti-
nians are not treated as
humans — namely,
granted statehood — they
cannot be expected to fol-
low standard behavior.
The film will be distrib-
uted soon to more than 120
libraries around the world.
According to sources here,
the UN will also offer a film
for commercial use, includ-
ing major U.S. TV stations.
He that walks in his up-
rightness fears the Lord;
but he that is perverse in his
ways despises Him.
