When Senators first
heard of the proposed' pri-
vate sale on Tuesday they
were quite upset.
Meanwhile, two members
of the Knesset Foreign Af-
fairs and Security Commit-
tee declared in Washington
on Tuesday that the Saudi
peace plan will never be im-
plemented.
Former Foreign Minister
Abbe Eban and Likud MK
Joseph Rom warned that
expressions by the Reagan
Administration of approval
for parts of the Fand plan
could wreck the Camp
David process.
"We are strong enough
to prevent the implemen-
tation of any proposal
such as this that is fatal to
our security," Eban, now
an opposition Labor MK,
said. The two MKs, at a
briefing at the Israeli
Embassy, said there is a
"consensus" in Israel of
opposition to the Fand
plan and of concern over
U.S. expressions of sup-
port for some parts of the
proposal.
Eban said that the Fand
plan went against "contrac-
tual agreements" that the
U.S. has made with Israel
such as not to demand a
complete Israeli with-
drawal to the pre-1967 bor-
ders and the U.S. promises
not to recognize the Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion. He said that the Fand
plan not only went against
the Israeli position, but
what has been up to now the
announced U.S. position.
Both Eban and Rom
pointed out that the U.S. re-
jected the Fand plan when it
was first proposed in
August.
Eban and Rom said that
what was needed now was
quick progress on the au-
tonomy talks. Eban urged
all three parties, Israel,
Egypt and the U.S., to take
new positions on autonomy.
Rom put the onus only on
Egypt and the U.S.
Eban noted that the
U.S. and Israel have had
"a different concept of
Saudi Arabia." He said
Israel has no objections
to the U.S. improving its
relations with the Saudis
but did not want a condi-
tion of this improvement
to be Israeli concessions.
Eban noted that Israel
has always been willing
to negotiate with Saudi
Arabia but stressed that
in listing the eight points,
Fand specifically ruled
out any negotiations with
Israel.
Eban urged the U.S.
media to stop talking about
the Saudis recognizing Is-
rael's right to exist. "I can-
not think of a more offensive
formulation," he said. "Our
right to exist is independent
of anybody's recognition of
it. Our legitimacy is not
suspended in midair pend-
ing completion and ratifica-
' tion the Royal House of
Saudi Arabia."
Eban stressed that Israel
is as much a sovereign state
as the United States or
Saudi Arabia and what Is-
rael was seeking was nor-
maliiation with its
neighbors, not recognition
of its existence.
On Sunday, Prime Minis-
ter Begin called the plan a
means "to liquidate Israel
in stages." He also asked the
not to provide any new
sophisticated weaponry to
Jordan.
Begin's statement from
Israel, broadcast on
ABC-TV's "Issues and
Answers," came at the
start of King Hussein's
visit to Washington.
Begin asserted that
weapons for Jordan were as
great a threat to Israel as
the sale of AWACS and
enhancement equipment
for F-15 aircraft approved
by the U.S. for Saudi Arabia
last week.
Thanks, Saudi Style'
Editorial in the New York
Times on Nov. 4:
How do you say "thank
you" in Saudi? Raise the
price of oil, and lower prod-
uction. Congratulate the
White House for its stead-
fastness against "Zionist
groups." Tell the world
"what is now required from
President Reagan's Ad-
ministration."
And what is that?
AWACS and fuel tankers
and Sidewinder missiles
and abject American priase
for a warmed-over Saudi
peace plan — none of that's
enough. Now the Saudis in-
sist on acknowledgment
that America's proud
achievement, the Camp
David peace between Egypt
and Israel, is a "dead-end"
failure. They insist on ac-
ceptance of an independent
PLO state on the West Bank
of the Jordan, with
Jerusalem as its capital.
And they say no more criti-
cism of — or even "casting
doubt" on— the PLO and its
leaders.
How does a proud
President fresh from his
AWACS triumph iespond?
By insisting that he does too
support Camp David and
letting his State Depart-
ment explain:
The Saudis aren't really
thumbing their nose. Their
contempt for American dip-
lomacy in the Middle East is
just a bit of jockeying
against Arab "extremists."
And it's just a way of up-
staging the President's
guest, King Hussein of Jor-
dan, lest he reassert his own
interests in the West Bank.
Besides, close readers of
Riyadh's rhetoric should
take comfort from the im-
plication that Israel is a
"state" and therefore de-
serves to exist. What a
breakthrough!
It may be too much to ex-
pect that Prime Minister
Begin's anguish over these
developments would im-
press the AWACS salesmen
in Washington. But how,
just days after they were
able to "win one for Anwar
Sadat," do they dare ignore
his and his successor's
warnings against the Saudi
peace terms? Doesn't Wash-
ington understand what
signal it transmits to Pales-
tinians and other Arabs
when it thus encourages
those who "rejected"
Egypt's negotiations with
Israel — even before the re-
sults were known?
There is no recovering
from these Saudi thrusts
and American blunders
with mere lip service to the
Camp David accord. If he
wants to protect it, and re-
gain confidence in Egypt
and Israel, an American
President will, for a change,
have to tell the Saudis
"what is now required."
It is an Arab offer to
negotiate genuine peace in
exchange for territory —
not just with the United
States but directly with Is-
rael. Mr. Reagan needs to
say it, and keep saying it,
until it sinks in. There is no
other way to redeem that
promise of the AWACS.
There is no other path to
real cooperation with
America or to peace.
