invasion of that country 20
months ago. His remarks
• drew a sharp response
Wednesday from Eliahu
i3en-Elissar, chairman of
Knesset's Foreign Af-
lairs and Security Commit-
tee, who was Israel's first
I ambassador to Cairo after
the Israel-Egypt peace
1 treaty was signed in 1979.

said
Ben-Elissar
Mubarak knows very
well that Israel did not
) launch its Lebanese op-
' eration in order to annex
- Lebanon and that with-
out the Israeli invasion,
'"Lebanon would have
been doomed and given
away to the Syrians."
With respect to Arafat,
Ben-Elissar said, "He is no
• more a moderate today than
he was yesterday" and if
cPresident Mubarak thinks
that Arafat should be made
a partner in the peace proc-
' ess, then "there will be no
peace process at all."
(----
Mubarak said in Wash-
ington he expects Arafat to
,,meet with Kin.. Hussein "in
the very near future"
b
to dis-
--- cuss a joint effort to enter
✓
into negotiations with Is-
rael on the "'Palestinian
problem."
"I think the PLO is
ready, in a delegation
'with King Hussein, to
iL negotiate the (Palesti-
nian) problem,"
Mubarak said in an
interview conducted
with the Washington
'
Post.
Mubarak also reiterated
( Egypt's commitment to the
peace treaty with Israel. He
said the return of Egypt's
Ambassador to Israel, who
was recalled to Cairo follow-

rael is willing to consider a
dialogue with the USSR on
relations between the two
countries and on the Middle
East situation in general.
His gesture toward Moscow
was apparently prompted
by the death of Uri An-
dropov and his replacement
by Konstantin Chernenko
as General Secretary of the
Communist Party.
But Shamir made it
clear that there has been
no sign of any improve-
ment in relations be-
tween Israel and the
Soviet Union.
ing the massacre of Palesti-
nians in the Sabra and
Shatila refugee camps in
west Beirut, would occur
only after there has been
"tangible" progress on the
Lebanon issue and the
Palestinian problem.
, The Egyptian leader also
said that "Egypt is a part of
the Arab world," but added,
"That doesn't mean we come
at the expense of our rela-
tions with Israel. I didn't
drop my relations with Is-
rael because of the Islamic
conference . . . We respect
our commitments."
A U.S. official disociated
President Reagan from
Mubarak's call for a U.S.
dialogue with the PLO, ob-
serving, "You can't control
statements by a departing
chief of state and you cer-
tainly don't endorse it by
standing there."
He reaffirmed that the
United States stands by
Security Council resolu-
tions 242 and 338 as the
framework for Middle
East peace and declared,
"We have no intention of
negotiating with the
PLO."
The official said that
Reagan had assured his
guests that he will not "shy
away from the peace process
during this election year .. .
He (the President) made
clear the need for moving
forward." The official re-
fused to elaborate, however,
on Reagan's remark about
"exchanging territory for
peacd."
Israeli Premier Yitzhak
- Shamir voiced displeasure
in advance at President
Reagan's meetings in
Washingtin with Hussein
and Mubarak.
Addressing Herut ac-
tivists from Israel and
abroad the premier said: "I
want to state that no discus-
sion on Mideast peace can
be complete or practical
without the participation of
Israel and without taking
her views and aspirations
into consideration."
He stressed that Israel
"stands ready now as al-
ways" to resume the
peace talks "on the basis
of the only realistic plan
— Camp David." He
noted pointedly that two
of the three countries
present at the Washing-
ton meetings had been
partners in Camp David.
Shamir indicated in the
Knesset on Wednesday that
Israel favors — or at least
would not oppose — French
efforts toward the estab-
lishment of a United Na-
tions peacekeeping force in
and around Beirut to re-
place the multinational
force presently composed of
American, French and Ita-
lian troops. Britain with-
drew its small contingent
last week.
Shamir noted, in reply to
questions, that the Soviet
Union could play a positive
role in the French initia-
tive, inasmuch as the dis-
patch of a UN force to Beirut
would require Soviet ap-
proval as a member of the
UN Security Council.
Shamir also said that Is-
On Sunday, Israel af-
firmed that it would retain
in south Lebanon whatever
forces it considered neces-
sary to ensure the security
of its northern borders in
the event the Lebanese gov-
ernment scraps its May 17,
1983, withdrawal and secu-
rity agreement with Israel.
That decision emerged
from a seven-hour cabinet
meeting which, in effect,
endorsed Shamir's stern
warning to Lebanon not to
yield to Syrian pressure to
abrogate the May 17 accord.
Cabinet secretary Dan
Meridor insisted after the
meeting that Israel will not
accept abrogation.
