Austria to Continue M .E. Policies

VIENNA (JTA) — Chan-
cellor Fred Sinowatz of Au-
stria said last Saturday that

his new Socialist govern-
ment will continue the Mid-
dle East policy laid down by
his predecessor, former
Chancellor Bruno Kreisky,
which is that there cannot
be a durable peace in the
region without a just solu-
tion of the Palestinian prob-
lem.
"It is true that the Israeli
government has criticized
our Middle East policy very
strongly, but it must be said
that our policy was also ac-
cepted by many Israelis,"
Sinowatz told the editor-
in-chief of Arbeiterzeitung,
the organ of the ruling So-
cial Democratic Party, in
his first interview on the
Middle East since taking
office.
He praised Kreisky for
his detailed knowledge of
Middle Eastern affairs and

his personal acquaintance
with leading politicians in
the region. In this sense,
Kreisky is irreplaceable,
Sinowatz said, and "we will
have maximum continuity
in our foreign policy, includ-
ing our position toward the
Middle East conflict."
He spoke of Kreisky's
humanitarian efforts to
achieve a prisoner of war
exchange in Lebanon,
but he doubted that the
present situation would
allow continuation of the
process.
Sinowatz would not com-
ment on the Israel-Lebanon
withdrawal agreement
signed last month. "But we
must understand why Syria
and the Palestinians are not
happy with this agree-
ment," he said. "The situa-
tion in the Middle East has
deteriorated in recent times
and I don't know if the Is-
raeli government will
change its policy. We can
only hope it will do so," he
said.
He blamed the current
revolt in the Palestine Lib-
eration Organization
against PLO chief Yasir
Arafat on the failure of
moderation and readiness
for a dialogue to produce re-
sults. "So right now, we see
that the radical forces are
getting stronger. We can
only hope that there will be
a time when reasonable
persons are strong enough
to put through a solution,
but moderation on one side
cannot succeed without a
response from the other
side," he said.

Egyptian Believes PLO Fighting
to Lead to Middle East Progress

BONN (JTA) — The
Foreign Minister of Egypt,
Kamal Hassan Ali, said in
W. Germany on Sunday
that the present upheaval
inside the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization has
paved the way for new
momentum in the Middle
East peace process.
The visiting Egyptian
diplomat, in his discussions
with West German leaders,
said the PLO can no longer
be considered an indepen-
dent representative body
which means that each PLO
faction or each group of
Palestinians can develop its
own representation.
"Maybe the residents of
the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip will also build their
own group and will seek an
open dialogue with King
Hussein ofJordan," Hassan
Ali suggested.
Meanwhile, PLO chief
Yasir Arafat, who was
ousted from Syria Friday
for allegedly accusing
President Hafez Assad
of fonunenting the rebel-
lion against hfin. in PLO

PLO Fighting
Among Selves

TEL AVIV (JTA) —
Palestine Liberation
Organization dissidents op-
posed to Yasir Arafat have
captured a section of the
Beirut-Damascus highway
between the Lebanese
mountain resort of Shtoura
and the Syrian border.
They are now in a position
to block the passage of men,
food and equipment to El
Fatah forces near Beirut.
Heavy fighting was re-
ported between El Fatah,
the PLO faction loyal to
Arafat, and dissidents in
the Bekaa Valley of eastern
Lebanon Tuesday. Syria
was reported to be sending
in tanks in support of the
anti-Arafat forces.
A meeting of the Fatah
Revolutionary Council,
called by Arafat in Damas-
cus Monday to heal the
widening breach within the
PLO, made no progress be-
cause anti-Arafat elements
refused to attend.

ranks, flew to Prague. He
is reportedly seeking
support from his Com-
munist bloc friends
against the mutineers
within his own El Fatah
faction. In any event,
Arafat has been barred
from returning to Syria
and so has his deputy,
Abu Jihad.
Hassan Ali said, accord-
ing to diplomatic sources
here, that there must be a
link between the with-
drawal of all foreign forces

from Lebanon and the fu-
ture of the Golan Heights,
annexed by Israel in 1981.
He said Cairo expected Is-
rael to agree to the principle
of territorial concessions in
peace talks involving the
Golan Heights.

He told reporters that
Egypt's Ambassador to Is-
rael, recalled after the inva-
sion of Lebanon, would be
returned to Tel Aviv. It is
merely a question of timing,
he said.
