Sharon Sees Israeli Occupation
as Alternative to Lebanon Accord
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Repeated statements by De-
fense Minister Ariel Sharon
implying that Israel would
occupy or otherwise control
southern Lebanon indefi-
nitely if the Beirut govern-
ment failed to sign a peace
treaty with Israel have not
been clarified by officials
here.
There is speculation as to
whether Sharon is speaking
for himself or is enunciating
a policy shared by Premier
Menahem Begin if not the
entire Cabinet.
Sharon, in Kiryat
Shemona Monday night,
said that in the absence of a
peace treaty with Lebanon,
Israel would insist on con-
trolling a security belt of up
to 50 kilometers of
Lebanese territory north of
its borders. According to
Sharon, Israel has made it
clear to the Lebanese
authorities — apparently
including President-elect
Bashir Gemayel — that if a
peace treaty was signed,
Lebanon's territorial unity
would be guaranteed. If
there is no treaty, Israel
would control a 40-50
kilometer zone "whose
status would vary from the
rest of Lebanon," Sharon
said.
He added that Israel
did not view a peace
treaty with Lebanon as
merely a gesture but as a
"security necessity of
prime importance." He
insisted however, that Is-
rael had no territorial as-
pirations in Lebanon and
was vitally interested in a
unified Lebanon under a
central government.
Official sources here said
Tuesday that it was too
early to spell out the kind of
security belt envisaged by
the • Defense Minister.
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir told the Ambas-
sadors of the European Eco-
nomic Community (EEC)
countries that security ar-
rangements on Israel's
northern border would best
be worked out by the
Lebanese and Israeli ar-
mies, assuming there was a
peace treaty betwen the two
countries. A key question is
whether the kind of security
Sharon seeks would be feas-
ible without the presence of
Israeli troops in Lebanon.
From the outset of the
Lebanese campaign, Begin
predicted that an Israeli
victory would result in
Lebanon becoming the sec-
ond Arab country to con-
clude a peace treaty with Is-
rael. But Gemayel is re-
portedly under heavy pres-
sure not to sign a peace pact.
The pressure comes mainly
from Lebanese Moslem
leaders. But a Christian
leader, former President
Camille Chamoun, has been
quoted as saying a treaty
with Israel at this time
would be "premature."
Begin, who met with
Gemayel last week, repor-
tedly was disappointed that
the President-elect failed to
come out openly in favor of a
ft

peace treaty. The Lebanese
leader also declared that his
government would try Maj.
Saad Haddad as a "des-
erter."
Haddad, who com-
mands the Christian
militia in south Lebanon,
has been supported for
years by Israel and re-
cently expanded the area
he controls from a nar-
row strip along the Is-
raeli border to a point
just south of Sidon, Israel
is said to regard his
presence as an important
security element.
Begin also was reported
to have been "insulted" by
Gemayel's cool attitude in-
asmuch as the leader of the
rightwing Christian
Phalangists owed his elec-
tion in large measure to Is-
rael's army in Lebanon.
Political pundits here as-
sume that Sharon's re-
marks on Israel's security
plans in Lebanon had Be-
gin's personal approval. Al-
though the Cabinet has not
yet discussed future rela-
tions with Lebanon, Begin,
Sharon and Shamir consult
frequently together. It is as-
sumed here that the three
senior Cabinet ministers
are in agreement and that
Sharon's statements reflect
this.
Whatever agreements
are reached with respect to
a long range relationship
with Lebanon, Israel has
indicated it is in no hurry to
withdraw its forces from
Lebanon, including the
northernmost points to
whcih Israeli troops ad-
vanced.
In that connection,
Sharon reportedly told
Morris Draper, the senior
U.S. diplomatic in Leba-
non, that Israel would not
withdraw from the
environs of Beirut until
Sharon and his family
"could spend a weekend
at the Commodore Hotel
in west Beirut," the Mos-
lem quarter of the
Lebanese capital. Draper
is Deputy Assistant Sec-
retary of State for Near
East and South Asian Af-
fairs and was special
Ambassador Philip
Habib's deputy in the
negotiations which led to
the evacuation of the
Palestine Liberation
Organization from west
Beirut.
Israel is insisting fur-
thermore that no anti-Israel
elements must be allowed to
remain in Beirut which
could facilitate the return of
the PLO. But sources here
have denied a report that Is-
rael issued an ultimatum
for the evacuation of 2,000
leftist militiamen from west
Beirut. Israel continues to
regard this as the responsi-
bility of the Lebanese army,
the sources said.
