(JTA) Yehuda Blum, Is-
rael's ambassador to the
United Nations, said that
the Arabs of Palestine,
"achieved their statehood as
early as 1946, on 80 percent
of mandated Palestine,"
with the establishment of
the kingdom of Transjor-
dan. In this way, they pre-

ceded by two years the es-
tablishment of an indepen-
dent Jewish state in Pales-
tine," the Israeli envoy de-
clared.
Addressing the General
Assembly debate on the
question of Palestine, Blum
asserted that while the
state of the Palestinians
was established on 80 per-
cent of the territory of
Palestine the Palestinian
Jews founded their state
(Israel) on less than 20 per-
cent of the area of the
former (British) mandate."
Furthermore, Blum de-
clared, "this development
was also accompanied by a
de facto exchange of popula-
tions. A large number of
Arabs, who had been resi-
dent in the part of Palestine
that became Israel, left
their homes and settled in
the neighboring Arab states
(predominantly in the
Palestinian Arab state of
Jordan).
An even greater
number of Jews, who had
been resident in the Arab
states, left their countries
of origin and made their
way almost without ex-
ception to Israel — the
Palestinian Jewish
state."

Noting that the "core" of
the Mideast conflict is the
refusal of the Arabs to ac-
cept the state of Israel and
not the Palestinian ques-
tion, Blum said, however,
that the only solution to the
question of the Palestinian
Arabs is in the autonomy
plan of the Camp David
framework.
"This framework invites
the Palestinian Arab resi-
dents of Judea, Samaria and
the Gaza District to play an
active role in shaping their
future by calling on them to
participate in all aspects of
the negotiations," Blum
said, adding that never in
their history had the Pales-
tinian Arabs been offered
better opportunities to gov-
ern themselves than those
offered by the autonomy
plan.
Blum said that despite
the efforts of the Arab "re-
jectionist front," led by the
Palestine Liberation
Organization, "the current
negotiations (on autonomy)
will continue and we are
confident that they will
reach a successful conclu-
sion, thus carrying us an-
other step further towards
the achievement of an over-
all peace in the entire
region."
The current session of
the UN General Assem-
bly has been dubbed
"Palestine Week" and
will include the screening
of the UN-produced film,
"Palestinians Do Have
Rights," and an exhibi-
tion at the UN building
devoted to the "plight" of
the Palestinians — spon-
sored by the UN, but ac-
tually designed and or-
ganized by the PLO, the
JTA reported.
The Palestine Week
ended Thursday with the
UN-declared "Palestine
Day," the date when the
General Assembly recom-
mended the partition of
Palestine in 1947.
Blum disclosed that Is-
rael, to counter the UN-
produced film on the Pales-
tinians, has obtained its
own film, "The PLO," pro-
duced by a Swiss company,
but that the UN turned
down Israel's request to sc-
reen it at the UN.
Blum said Israel was told
that the Hammarskjold
Auditorium, where films
are shown, screens only
"cultural films" and not
political ones. "We asked for

another facility in the UN
building to screen the film,
and they are checking it,
but I doubt our request will
be granted,"-- Blum said.
The Middle East issue
will be on the agenda of
the assembly for another
week, when the Palesti-
nian debate is over, with
the start of a Mideast de-
bate Monday to discuss
the Arab-Israel conflict
in its entirety.
Meanwhile, Farouk Kad-
doumi, the PLO "foreign
minister," warned that any
Palestinian supporting the
autonomy plan would be
considered "a traitor."
Speaking at the UN Gen-
eral Assembly, the PLO of-
ficial also called on the U.S.
to stop supporting Israel
and appealed to the Ameri-
can public to persuade the
Administration to change
its Middle East policy.
In a related develop-
ment, Lebanon has
struck a deal with Pales-
tinian terrorists under
which the terrorists will
be allowed to retain
bases in Southern Leba-
non in return for a tem-
porary pledge not to raid
Israel from the area.
The agreement between
PLO chief Yasir Arafat and
Lebanese President Elias
Sarkis came after hours of
backstage wrangling, as a
three-day summit confer-
ence of Arab kings and
presidents ended.
government that-an invita-
tion to Arafat to visit
France "might result in a
moral divorce" between
France's Jews and the
French government.
CRIF called on the gov-
ernment and on the
president not to invite or re-
ceive the PLO leader.
In Tel Aviv a visiting
member of the West Ger-
man Parliament said that
the PLO enjoys r' ^ng
prestige in Europe -. . if
the PLO leaders were to
declare themselves ready
to recognize Israel, it
would generate immense
pressure on Israel to
negotiate with that
group.
That view was expressed
by Eric Blumenfeld, chair-
man of the Federation of
German-Israel Friendship
Societies (FGIFS) who
heads a 10-member delega-
tion to the third conference
of the FGIFS which met in
Jerusalem last week.
Blumenfeld is an opposi-
tion member of the Bundes-
rat, West Germany's upper
house, and a member of the
Parliament of Europe.

PLO Shows Signs
of Controversy
Within Own Ranks
The PLO mediation mis-
sion to Teheran is showing
signs of exacerbating ten-
sions that have been mount-
ing recently within the ter-
rorist organization.
According to the Wash-
ington Post, the strains
have arisen as Palestinian
terrorist leader Yasir
Arafat has tried to balance
international diplomatic
gains with a need to main-
tain revolutionary creden-
tials.
The main competition
within the PLO is among
forces supporting Arafat's
new diplomatic approach
designed to win favor in
Washington and European
capitals, and other factions
for whom Arab revolution
and armed struggle remain
the only true path to the
Palestinians' achieving
their goal.
In Paris the Chief
Rabbi of Colmar, one of
the two chief rabbis of
Alsatia, called for direct
negotiations with the
PLO and said he was not
opposed to a meeting be-
tween PLO chief Arafat
and French President
Valery Giscard d'Esta-
ing.
Rabbi Simon Fuks is
known as a Zionist and part
of his family, including his
children, are reportedly liv-
ing in Israel.

Council of Major Jewish
Organizations in France
