was the "cornerstone" of the
peace effort in the Mideast.
While Carter and Ford
outlined steps for the U.S.
and Arab countries to take,
most of their article was
aimed at Israel. They said
they had come to the "pain-
ful concludsion" that the
Begin government "is not
living up to" the commit-
ments made in the Camp
David agreement.
"It has shown little in-
clination to grant real au-
tonomy to the Palesti-
nians in the West Bank
and Gaza areas," Carter
and Ford wrote. "It has
continued to confiscate
properties in occupied
territories and to build

settlements as if to create
a de facto Israeli ascen-
dancy there. It has pub-
licly repudiated the Re-
agan peace plan which
calls for a freeze for Is-
raeli settlements."
They said that the Begin
government must "realize
that, however it may define
its intentions in the West
Bank or Gaza, however it
may seek to rationalize its
actions there, the evidence
is convincing to the Arab
world and beyond that the
Israeli leaders have simply
chosen to seize these lands,
and hold them by force."
While criticizing the Is-
raeli invasion of Lebanon
and accusing the Begin gov-
ernment of "an inclination
. . .toward a military rather
than a diplomatic solution
to Israel's problems," the
two former Presidents con-
ceded that before the
Lebanese invasion all Israel
could perceive were threats
from the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization rather
than diplomatic efforts by
Arab moderates. "Indeed,
the need for credible voices
articulating Arab — and
more precisely Palestinian
— concerns cannot be over-
stressed," they added.
The
two
former
Presidents stressed that
there are two realities that
have to be acknowledged.
The first is that Israel is a
nation and as such "has a
right to exist and to co-exist
in security and peace in the
world community." The sec-
ond is that there are four
million Palestinian people
"scattered throughout the
Middle East and other
regions and they cry out for
their own home, in which
their legitimate rights may
be exercised."
Ford and Carter noted
that they were both
engaged in negotiations
on Israeli withdrawal
from the Sinai and on the
Camp David negotiaions
and that they support
President Reagan's Sep-
tember 1 peace initiative.
"But now the Arabs are
waiting to see if Washing-
ton means business,"
they noted.
The State Department
said Monday that Carter
and Ford have "focused
rightly on Israeli settle-
ments" on the West Bank as
a "problem" in the Middle
East peace negotiations.
But while Department
spokesman John Hughes
said the settlements were a
"problem which President
Reagan has identified as an
obstacle to peace," he re-
fused to go along with the
two former Presidents who
said it was the "major obsta-
cle" for moderate Arabs to
join the peace process.

Sharon Visit to Zaire Nets
Military Training Package
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Zaire
President Mobutu Sese
Seko told Israel Radio
Tuesday night that Israel
would be replacing Belgium
in retraining his army's
crack Camaniola division.
In an interview with a
radio reporter accompany-
ing Defense Minister Ariel
Sharon to Kinshasa,
Mobutu said Israel would
also supply the force with
artillery, mortars and
communications equipment
over a five-year period.
Newsmen with the Sha-
ron party report that mili-
tary cooperation between
Israel and Zaire was the
main topic of all Sharon
meetings with Mobutu and
other Zaire officials so far.
Mobutu said he hoped
to visit Israel shortly, but
no date has yet been set.
The Camaniola division
is stationed in the strategic
Shaba area near the Zam-
bian borders where the
country's main mineral
sources are located.
Mobutu has stressed that
he will maintain military
cooperation with France,
,
Belgium and China, not
putting all his eggs in the
Israeli basket.
Israel Defense Ministry
announced that Sharon,
who had been expected to
leave last Saturday night,
had postponed his trip "for a
few days" because he had to
be in Israel "to deal with
current matters."
He met in Jerusalem
Sunday with U.S. special
Ambassador Philip
Habib on the situation in
Lebanon. Foreign Minis-
ter Yitzhak Shamir and _
David Kimche, head of
the Israeli negotiating
team with the Lebanese
were also at that meeting.
Critics of Sharon claimed
he delayed his departure for
Zaire so that he would not
be absent should any break-
through occur in the
Israel-Lebanese talks for
which he might take credit.
He advanced it because he
was convinced no dramatic
developments were immi-
nent, the critics said.
Sharon also was to dis-
cuss agricultural projects
with the Zairc leader.
