According to Newsweek,
Hussein wants to propose
his idea for a West Bank-

Washington sources are
skeptical that he has the

Spanish and U.S. Jewish Leaders
Protest Arafat Visit to Spain
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Jewish organizations in
Spain and the U.S. pro-
tested sharply over the
weekend to the Spanish
government for 'receiving
Palestine Liberation
Organization chief Yasir
Arafat.
Leaders of the Conference
of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organ-
izations met with Kose
Liado, the Spanish Ambas-
sador to the U.S., to tell him
that American Jews were
"deeply disturbed" by the
honors the Spanish regime
had accorded Arafat during
his visit.
In New York, the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith deplored the visit as a
setback to the Middle East
peace.
Arafat's visit was also
denounced by Mauricio
Toledano, leader of Mad-
rid's 3,000 Jews, who
called upon the govern-
ment to establish dip-
lomatic relations with Is-
rael. Spain is the only
Western nation which
does not have diplomatic
ties with Israel, a situa-
tion Toledano described
as absurd.
Arafat, who left Spain
Sunday after a 48-hour
visit, had been officially -in-
vited by the government.
While there he met with
Prime Minister Adolfo
Suarez. It was the first time
that a West European
leader acting as the head of
state had received Arafat.
Last July, the terrorist
leader met with Austrian
Chancellor Bruno Kreisky,
who is also vice president of
the Socialist International.
Kreisky claimed that his
talks with Arafat were in
the context of his role in the
International.
The PLO chief also met
with Foreign Minister Mar-
celino Oreja, Spain's gov-
erning Union of the Demo-
cratic Center, Socialists,

Communists, the far-left
Workers Party, and with
Bishop Hilarion Capucci,
the former head of the
Greek-Melkites in
Jerusalem who served three
years in an Israeli prison on
charges of gunrunning for
the Palestinians. He ar-
rived in Madrid from Rome
where he now lives.
However, Manuel
Fraga Iribarne, leader of
the right-wing Demo-
cratic Coalition, refused
to meet with Arafat. He
said that while he sup-
ports the "legitimate
rights" of the Palesti-
nians, he did not want to
contribute "to the
flourishing terrorism and
revolutionary war in
Spain and the confusion
that this visit would
create." Fraga was refer-
ring to Spain's problems
with the Basque
nationalist organization
ETA.
In the meeting in Wash-
ington with Liado, Theo-
dore Mann, chairman of the
Presidents Conference, and
Yehuda Hellman, executive
director, pointed out that
while the Spanish govern-
ment accorded official hon-
ors to Arafat it still refuses
to grant diplomatic recogni-
tion to Israel. They also told
the envoy that receiving
Arafat had "seriously in-
jured" Spain's reputation
among American Jews.
Liado, who left for consul-
tations in Madrid following
his meeting with Mann and
Hellman last Thursday
evening, promised to
transmit their protest "to
the highest levels of the
Spanish government."
Abraham Foxman, ADL's
associate national director,
termed the official welcome
to Arafat by Suarez
"strange behavior for the
head of a government seek-
ing the world's help in cop-
ing with Spain's own brand
of terrorism among the
Basques." He noted that the
red carpet treatment "for
the king of terrorists" fol-
lowed closely after Spa'
broke ranks with West(
countries to send a delegate
to the conference of non-
aligned nations in Havana.
Foxman said the two
developments coming in
such' close proximity
"makes us wonder
whether Spain is signal-
ing a new political al-
liance with elements that
are unfriendly to the free
world."
Prior to leaving Madrid,
Arafat praised the Spanish
government's "progressive"
stand on the Mideast. How-
ever, there was no joint
statement.
The Spanish Foreign
Ministry issued a press
statement noting that
Spain will"continue main-
taining and developing spe-
cial ties of friendship and
cooperation that unite
Spain with the Arab world,
to the benefit of both
peoples, and the support of
the latter's just causes."
The statement added that
peace in the Mideast
"cannot be reached without
a just, overall and lasting
solution, based on the prin-
ciples and resolutions of the
United Nations and the
Palestinian people's exer-
cise of its inalienable na-
tional rights."
Judge Agrees With Arabs
After Gush Emunim Violence
TEL AVIV (JTA) — A
serious clash between
Jewish squatters and an
army unit sent to remove
them from an unauthorized
site near Kiryat Arba on the
West Bank has led a
member of Israel's Supreme
Court to agree, at least in
principle, with the conten-
tion that Jewish settlers on
the West Bank do not con-
tribute to security but are
themselves a security prob-
lem because they disobey
military government`orders
and fight with soldiers.
Acting Chief Justice
Alfred Vitkon made that
observation last Friday in
the course of a hearing on
the Elon Moreh case. Elon
Moreh is a new Gush
Emunim settlement near
Nablus where work has
been halted pending a Sup-
reme Court decision as to
whether the expropriation
of Arab-owned land was jus-
tified for security reasons.
The counsel for the Arab
land-owners argued that in
light of what happened near
Kiryat Arba last Thursday
night, no one can take seri-
ously the claim that the
settlers contribute to Is-
rael's security.
One soldier was badly
burned when the squat-
ters, Gush Emunim
members from Kiryat
Arba, poured kerosene
on tires and set them on
fire to prevent the troops
from reaching the site.
The squatters had
broken through a
perimeter fence and
erected prefabricated
huts on the land which
they demand must be
added to Kiryat Arba so
that the Orthodox town-
ship adjacent to Hebron
can be expanded.
They stationed woir
and children in the huts a_
defied entreaties by army
officers to leave peacefully.
After hours of fruitless
negotiatons, army units
were called in including a
squad of engineers with
cranes and women soldiers
to evacuate the women and
children. The squatters
were eventually removed by
force and their huts disman-
tled.
Some were taken to mili-
tary government headquar-
ters and others to a local
police station.
The injured soldier was
hospitalized for treatment
of his burns.
