Israeli Writer Calls a Palestinian State

NEW YORK (JTA) —
The establishment of a

Palestinian state is an "his-

East conflict.
This is the view of one of
Israel's most acclaimed
writers, A. B. Yehoshua,
who is highly respected in
political and intellectual Is-
raeli circles. A member of
the Labor Party, Yehoshua
is the recipient of many
awards for his short stories,
novels and plays.
He is currently in the
United States on a short
visit for the publication of
the English translation of
his latest novel, "A Late Di-
vorce" (Doubleday).
In an interview with
the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Yehoshua, a
sixth-generation Sabra,
said: "The only solution

to the Palestinian prob-

lem is the establishment
of a demilitarized Pales-
tinian state in the West
Bank. The solution of a
Palestinian state is an
historical must."
According to Yehoshua, it
is preferable for Israel to
deal directly with the Pales-
tinians rather than with
King Hussein of Jordan
about the future of the West
Bank. He pointed out that a
Jordanian-Israeli pact on
the West Bank which does
not take into consideration

recognize Israel. "If Assad
yes, why not Arafat?"
He stressed, however,
that the establishment of a
Palestinian state in the
West Bank does not mean
that Israel should disman-
tle the Jewish settlements
there.

the wishes of the Palesti-
nians who live in the area
will not solve the Palesti-
nian problem.
The Palestinians, he
claimed, will not feel bound
by any agreement reached
between Israel and Jordan
and a situation might de-
velop in which PLO leader
Yasir Arafat would return
to the West Bank after the
area is returned to Hussein,
without being committed to
a settlement with Israel.
Yehoshua, who is a pro-
fessor in the department of
world literature at Haifa
University, said Israel
should announce "a dec-
laration of intentions" on
the establishment of an in-
dependent Palestinian
state.
"One must not forget that
the Palestinians are now,
after the war in Lebanon,
beaten and disappointed
with the whole Arab world,
and they have no alterna-
tive but to accept Israel's
declaration of intentions
with open arms,"
Yeshoshua said.
Developing this theme,
he said he does not share the
view that the PLO cannot be
a partner in negotiations
with Israel. He said that
once the PLO recognizes Is-
rael, Israel should negotiate.
"I think that the argu-
ment that we should not
negotiate with the PLO be-
cause they are the murder-
ers of children is not a valid
argument. Why? Because
we are willing to negotiate
with other Arabs, such as
(President Hafez) Assad of
Syria and the Iraqis whose
records are not much bet-
ter."
Yehoshua said Israel
should negotiate with
Arafat because the Palesti-
nians view him as their
representative. "Menahem
Begin once invited Assad to
come to Jerusalem and
negotiate," Yehoshua re-
called, pointing out that the
Syrian Constitution clearly
states that Syria will never
