Patience to Mark Egyptian-Israeli Talks on Palestinian Autonomy

able to work for longer
periods of time, with more
intensity, than they have
been able to do in the past.
We hope that sufficient
technical progress will have
been made by December so
that we will be ready to take
these up at the plenary
level."
But, in contrast to prev-
ious statements, Strauss
told newsmen there was no
urgency in getting the
Palestinians, not to speak of
the PLO, into the autonomy
talks. The U.S. was not try-
ing to "woo the Palestinians
negotiate," he said.
"We all are interested
in number one: seeing
that these discussions -
proceed. Our mandate is,
and I believe it is the in-
tention of each of the
other parties, that these
discussions should con-
tinue within the
framework of (UN Secu-
rity Council Resolutions)
242, 338 and the Camp

David accords.
This is what President
Sadat said in Cairo, what I
have said here, what Pre-
mier Begin has said, and
this is what the President
(Carter) has said."
Burg was visibly pleased
with restricting the talk to
the technical level. "The
question of Jerusalem was
mentioned as a question we
don't discuss," he said.
At his meeting Tuesday
with Premier Begin,
Strauss raised the issue of
the Israeli air raids in
southern Lebanon. He said
they were causing great
damage to Israel's image in
the U.S. In reply, Begin
said, the area would stay
quiet if the terrorists did not
renew their attacks. But in
any event Israel was deter-
mined.to exercise its right to
defend its citizens, he said.
Strauss also met Tues-
day with Elias freij, the
moderate mayor of
Bethlehem, who only
hours earlier publically

came out in support of a ton with Hikmat al-Masri of
Jordanian-Palestinian Nablus, former speaker of
the Jordanian Parliament,

Israeli, Egyptian Sailors Meet
During Sadat, Begin Haifa

By YITZHAK SHARGIL

HAIFA (JTA) — The
famous -wartime question,
"friend or foe," was superf-
luous here as Egyptian and
Israeli sailors fraternized in
the relaxed atmosphere of
the spacious Mount Carmel
.auditorium two weeks ago
overlooking Haifa Bay.
It was obvious that as the
sailors mingled and talked
to each other there were no
foes, only friends. In fact, it
was difficult to tell Egyp-
tians and Israelis apart as
all were wearing white uni-
forms.
Admiral Mouhamed Ali
Mouhamed, commander of
the Egyptian navy, and
Rear Admiral Zeev Almog,
commander of the Israeli
navy, made this clear as
they addressed the hun-
dreds of sailors in the au-
ditorium. "Looking at the
faces of my men I can see
that they are happy, satis-
fied and enjoying every
minute of their stay," Ali
Mouhamed said.
Almog beamed as he
said: "You have com-
pleted the rainbow of
peace. Just as after a
storm at sea there is a
rainbow that indicates
calm weather, so is there
a rainbow that comes
after a war to indicate
peace."
Almog had a special rea-
son for saluting this occa-
f ar- sion. He was twice before
.nvolved in encounters with
Egyptians, but under less
auspicious circumstances:
once during the Six-Day
War when he commanded a
flotilla that tried to evade
Soviet-made missiles fired
from Port Said, and once
during the Yom Kippur
War when he was comman-
der of operations in the Red
Sea area.
For Ali Mouhamed, this
visit to Israel was by
chance. When he came to
say farewell to President

Anwar Sadat as he was sail-
ing for Haifa to meet with
Premier Menahem Begin,
Sadat asked the Egyptian
naval officer to join him on
his trip. He did.
But for the hundreds of
sailors and officers compris-
ing the crews of the
presidential yacht El
Houriyeh, the Elfatah (not
the terrorist organization)
destroyer and two Soviet-
made missile boats, the visit
to Haifa was almost a dis-
appointment. As the ships
approached Israel's shore
Tuesday an order was is-
sued by Egyptian
authorities that • there
would be no shore leave be-
cause this was Sadat's visit,
not that of the Egyptian
navy.
The Israeli navy, which
was to host their coun-
terpart and had already

made preparations for
the sailors' visit on the
basis of a prior under-
standing that there
would be shore leave for
the Egyptians, was in-
structed to cancel the
function.
However, when Sadat
emerged from his yacht and
was asked about the cancel-
lation of shore leave, he
immediately instructed
that the sailors be granted
leave. The sailors cheered
their President.
Bus loads of Egyptian
sailors were taken on tour of
Haifa and then to kibutzim
nearby. In the evening Is-
raeli and Egyptian officers
and sailors exchanged
greetings, pleasantries and
food in the Mount Carmel
auditorium and all of them
were entertained by a group
of performers.

Freij said. "The east bank is
one lung, the West Bank is
another lung. So we are two
lungs in one body."
Contrary to the situation
until 1967, Freij suggested
that each side of the Jordan
River would have its own
government but with one
"police force, one army and
one passport" for both
states. Both states would
function on an equal basis,
he said.
