Labor Party miffed by
Arab MK's PLO trip
Jerusalem (JTA) — Attorney
General Yitzhak Zamir served
notice that any Knesset member
who tries to enter an enemy coun-
try or meet with members of the
Palestine Liberation Organiza-
tion would be subject to criminal
proceedings.
Zamir's opinion, submitted to
the Cabinet, was seen as a direct
warning to Abdul Wahab
Darousha, an Arab Labor Party
MK who left Israel Nov. 27 in an
unsuccessful attempt to reach
Amman, Jordan where he had
hoped to address the meeting of
the PLO-convened Palestine Na-
tional Council (PNC).
Darousha got as far as Cyprus
and returned to Israel Thursday.
Zamir noted, in his brief to the
Cabinet, that contact with an
"enemy agent" was a felony
punishable by up to 15 years' im-
prisonment. He asserted that con-
trary to press reports, several Is-
raeli political figures who met
with PLO representatives abroad
in recent years were indeed
brought to trial.
It is not yet known whether
legal action will be taken against
Darousha for declaring his inten-
tion and purpose for going to
Amman, though he never reached
Jordan. He claimed in a telephone
interview from Cyprus that the
Jordanian authorities refused
him entry. Most observers believe
he abandoned his mission under
intense pressure from Labor
Party colleagues.
Most significant in the long
term, political pundits agree, is
the political transformation of Is-
rael's 700,000 Arab citizens that
Darousha's move implies.
The implication is that the
majority of Israeli Arabs will no
longer settle for the status of pass-
ive bystanders in the Arab-Israeli
conflict.
Until now, such a role was con-
fined to the largely discredited
Communist Party in its expanded
form, known as Hadash, which in
past elections attracted the major-
ity of Arab Israeli votes, those of
radicals and nationalists alike.
The "moderate" Arabs aligned
themselves with the Zionist par-
ties, among which Labor and its
erstwhile partner Mapam were
easily the strongest in the Arab
sector.
But the results of the last elec-
tions showed something amiss.
Many Arabs were unhappy with
the Communists who blindly fol-
lowed the party line from Moscow.
But instead of switching to Labor,
many gave their votes to the Pro-
gressive List For Peace, a new fac-
tion composed of Arab
nationalists and dove-ish Jews,
left of center but not Communists.
The Progressive List polled
38,000 votes, winning two Knes-
set seats, as many as the old estab-
lished Agudat Israel party and
former Defense Minister Ezer
Weizman's new Yahad party.
It was a remarkable showing
for a new faction that describes
the PLO as the legitimate repre-
sentative of the Palestinian
people. Darousha has made no
such claim.
An official of the Education
Ministry in Iksal village near
Nazareth, Darousha was an
obscure figure until nominated to
the Labor Party list. But unlike
past Arab Labor candidates who
scrupulously followed orders from
party headquarters, Darousha as-
serted his independence from the
start of the election campaign. He
spoke openly of the need to estab-
lish a Palestinian state alongside
Israel which is in direct conflict
with the Labor Party platform.
He threatened not to join the
Labor-Likud unity coalition un-
less certain demands were met.
Then, without prior consultation
with the Labor Party chiefs and,
according to them, without even a
hint of his intentions, he left for
Amman by way of Cyprus.
PLO rep lashes
Arab curtailment
of 'armed struggle'
New York (JTA) — Shafik al-
Hout, the Palestine Liberation
Organization's representative
from Beirut, has blamed Arab
governments for curtailing the
"armed struggle against Israel"
that the PLO wants to pursue.
Speaking at a New York press
conference last Friday, al-Hout,
who is a member of the PLO
"Cabinet," said, "The Palestinian
freedom fighters find it difficult to
find any Arab borders nowadays
to cross to act militarily in the
occupied territories." He said this
matter was discussed at the meet-
ing of the Palestine National
Council (PNC) in Amman last
week, convened by the PLO.
The countries bordering Israel
are Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and
Egypt. Egypt has a peace treaty
with Israel, signed in 1979. Al-
Hout, who came to New York for
the debate on Palestine in the UN
General Assembly, was doubtful
that the PLO could re-establish
itself in south Lebanon once Is-
raeli forces withdraw.
"I don't think that is possible
again," he said. "We will always
call for Arab countries surround-
ing our occupied territories to give
us a chance to practice the armed
struggles, but to be honest, I don't
think we have much of a chance to
use any Arab borders to infiltrate
occupied territories."
He said the only hope was a
struggle by the Palestinians in
the territories but conceded that
to bring that about would need a
"miracle."
Kreisky planning
visit to Israel
Vienna (JTA) — Former Chan-
cellor Bruno Kreisky will pay a
private visit to Israel this spring.
In an interview with the Aust-
rian daily Arbeiterzeitung,
Shulamit Aloni, a Knesset
member of the Civil Rights
Movement and one of the winners
last week of the Bruno Kreisky
Peace Prize, confirmed that
Kreisky had accepted an invita-
tion to come to Israel to speak at
the International Center for
Peace in the Middle East.
