Issue in ABC-TV Interview
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Yasir Arafat, head of the
0 Palestine Liberation
Organization,refused flatly
in a television interview
Sunday, to say whether a
Palestinian state would
agree to co-exist with Israel.
Although pressed re-
peatedly by interviewer
Barbara Walters on ABC
., TV's "Issues and Answers,"
Arafat would not answer
the question directly. In-
stead, he said the decision
ld have to be made by
_1 "democratic establish-
.;* ment" of a Palestinian state
once that state was created.
The interview was taped
in Havana where Arafat
was attending the meeting
of the non-aligned nations.

NEW YORK — The Na-
tional Council of Young Is-
rael has opened an office in
a Washington D.C. law
firm. The organization's
president, Nathaniel
Saperstein, said the office
was opened "in view of the
ever-increasing need, both
domestically and interna-
tionally, to stay in close con-
tact with legislators."
for the elimination of Israel,
Arafat replied that this was
a foolish question since Is-
rael has a "huge force" with
15-20 atomic weapons
backed by the United
States. He denied the Pales-
tine Charter calls for the
elimination of Israel.
The PLO leader also
said he did not want
changes in United Na-
tions Security Council
Resolution 242 but a new
resolution which pro-
vided for Palestinian
self-determination and a
Palestinian state. He said
that President Carter
was "not accurate" when
he said recently that no
Arab leader had told the
President privately that
they support a Palesti-
nian state. Arafat said all
Arab leaders support
such a state.
Arafat again accused
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat of "betrayal" of the
Arab people. He said evi-
dence of this was that when
Sadat's yacht sailed into
Haifa it was guarded by Is-
raeli planes, the same
planes that bomb "my
people" and the Lebanese
people in Lebanon. The PLO
leader maintained that he
was a "moderate." He said
that "to be a moderate in the
Middle East is very dif-
ficult," exlpaining that "I
try to deal with all the
camps around me."

Arafat denied he was
anti-Semitic. "We are
anti-Zionist. We respect the
Jews and the Jewish reli-
gion." He characterized
Zionism as expansionist.
Walters, who was irked
throughout the interview
by Arafat's refusal to di-
rectly state whether the
Palestinians could exist
with Israel, noted that the

fused to give a direct answer
implying only that Israel
was strong enough to pre-
vent its destruction.
On the issue of Andrew
Young's resignation as U.S.
Ambassador to the United
Nations, Arafat at first said
he agreed with a statement
by a PLO official that the

anti-Semitism in the U.S.
He said Young was
fired for doing his job by
