PLO Loses IMF Role, Israel Hit at UN

(Continued from Page 1)
French Foreign Minis-
ter Jean Francois-Poncet
referred only briefly Wed-
nesday to the Middle East
conflict in a speech that out-
lined his country's major
foreign plicy principles.
But his - remarks on the
Middle East were conspicu-
ous for singling out Isarel's
actions as an obstacle to
further progress toward a
settlement in the area.
in what was obviously
Sher thrust at Israel,
ti,,,ugh he did not mention it
by name, Poncet charged
that "attacks on Lebanon's
sovereignty and territorial
integrity and on the mission
and authority of the United
Nations force in that coun-
try," are a further danger to
peace in the area. He said,
"The friendship that links
France to Lebanon and my
country's role in UNIFIL
(United Nations Interim
Force in Lebanon) make
this action all the more
abhorent to France."
Poncet, whose country is
a member of the European
Economic Community
(EEC), did not elaborate on
the Middle East question.
The French position was
spelled out Tuesday by
Foreign Minister Gaston
Thorn of Luxembourg who
spoke for all nine member
states of the EEC.
Thorn said that the
Palestinian people and
the PLO should be in-
volved in global negotia-
tions concerning the
Middle East and obliged
to adhere to a settlement
which would arise from
those negotiations, as
would all other parties.
Thorn referred to his re-
cent Middle East mission on
behalf of the EEC. He said
that he observed that not
only Israel but other states
in the region as well consid-
ered the security of all
states to be an urgent mat-
ter.
He said that all of the
Arab states continue to
view Israeli withdrawal
from the occupied ter-
ritories as a must. He said
that in the view of the EEC's
nine member states, Israel
should refrain from estab-
lishing any new settlements
in the territories and the
Arab nations should
"explicitly" recognize Is-
rael's right to exist. He reit-
. erated the position of the

EEC that a Middle East
solution has to be based on
Security Council Resolution
242 and 338 in all their
parts. He said the time has
come to assure the security
of all states in the region,
including Israel and to rec-
ognize the right of self-
determination for the
Palestinian people.
Thorn called on Israel to
end its occupation of the
lands seized since 1967. He
termed Israeli settlements
in those territories illegal
and declared that freedom
of access to holy places must
be guaranteed.
Another
speaker,
British Foreign Secre-
tary Lord Carrington, in
brief remarks on the
Middle East, said that his
government, together
with the other members
of the EEC, is committed
to the principle set up at
the EEC summit confer-
ence of heads of govern-
ment in Venice in June
and that he believes this
principle can be the basis
for a just and lasting
peace in the Middle East.
He said the British gov-
ernment welcomed the
resumption of the au-
tonomy talks between
Egypt, Israel and the U.S.
The General Assembly's
Credentials Committee ap-
proved Israel's credentials
to participate in the 35th
session of the General As-
sembly. But the commit-
tee's decision must be
brought to a vote in the ple-
nary. This procedure raises
the possibility that, in
theory, Israel's credentials
could be suspended.
However, UN officials
said that this was not likely
to happen. They said the
Arab states probably would
not challenge Israel's cre-
dentials this year.
The Soviet Union on
Monday denounced the
Camp David accords as an
"anti-Arab deal" and said
that their direct conse-
quence is "unabated tension
in the Middle East where
the situation is fraught with
perilous, unforeseen de-
velopments."
Soviet Foreign Minis-
ter Andrei Gromyko reit-
erated the Soviet position
that the Camp David
agreements are intended
only "to satisfy Israel's
annexation claims and to
establish an American

military presence in the on Sunday with a call for a
"jihad," holy war, against

crowded synagogues.

Rehovot and near Had-

religious zealots who
hurled stones at them.
Police reported fewer in-

In Haifa, firemen were
kept busy battling a forest
fire that threatened a
nearby industrial section.
After eight hours the blaze
was brought under control.
