The Mubarak proposal comes at the heels of the accord on a framework for Middle East peace reached last month between Jordan's King Hussein and Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yassir Arafat. One of Mubarak's closest ad- visors,- Ossama El-Baz, was ex pected in Israel this week, appar- ently carrying a message from the Egyptian president, who leaves for Washington to meet with President Reagan on March 8. Political sources in Jerusalem said Mubarak proposed the direct talks as an alternative to an in- ternational conference on the Middle East, which is favored by the Soviet Union and the Pales- tine Liberation Organization and opposed by Israel and the United States. But according to an interview with Mubarak, published Monday in the New York Times, the Egyp- tian leader's proposal was for di- rect talks between Israel and a Jordanian-Palestinian delegation as only a first step, to be followed by an international conference in which the Soviet and all other parties concerned would partici- pate. The Hussein-Arafat accord has drawn a mixed reaction from political figures in Israel. In a story published this week in Le Monde, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir differed with Peres, main- taining that the accord "does not serve in the interests of peace." But the Israeli leader, on a week-long visit to France, West Germany and Holland, did not rule out the possibility of a meet- ing between Peres and Hussein. The conditions for such an even- tuality "have been foreseen and are covered by the agreement which set up the (Labor-Likud) coalition government," he said. He saw the Hussein-Arafat ac- cord, however, as a tactical move to draw the United States into contact with the PLO. The agree- ment was announced on Feb. 11 but the Jordanian and PLO ver- sions, which emerged only this weekend, were contradictory in several key aspects. Shamir met with French president Francois Mitterrand and was the guest of honor at a state dinner given by Foreign Minister Roland Dumas Monday. In Bonn, Shamir met with Chancellor Helmut Kohl. The main purpose of Shamir's trip was to get guarantees for Is- rael's agricultural exports to Western Europe after Spain and Portugal are admitted to the ten- nation European Economic Community (EEC). In Washington, the Reagan Administration reiterated this week that it will not become in- volved in Arab-Israeli negotia- tions, as called for by Mubarak, until the Arabs agree to direct negotiations with Israel. At the same tithe; the AdniihiS"- tration indicated that while it views the Hussein-Arafat agree- ment as a positive note, it does not yet see it as including the U.S. requirement for direct negotia- tions. "As we have said, we are ready to re-engage in the search for a just and lasting peace in the Mid- dle East whenever the parties are ready," State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb said when asked about Mubarak's statements. "We would support direct talks between Israel and its Arab neighbors in any way that seems appropriate at that time." Kalb refused to comment on Mubarak's proposal that the U.S. invite Israel and a joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation to set the framework for negotia- tions, nor would he comment on Mubarak's alternative proposal that he would host such a meeting in Cairo. But Kalb said the Reagan Ad- ministration would discuss the Middle East process with Mubarak when the Egyptian leader visits President Reagan in Washington. Reagan stressed the need for direct talks when he met with King Fand of Saudi Arabia, Feb. 11-12, who also urged greater U.S. involvement. Asked about the Hussein- Arafat agreement, Kalb said, "what we have seen so far consti- tutes a step in the right direction, but there is a long way to go." He repeated the need for direct negotiations based on United Na- tions Security Council Resolution 242. Among the differences not worked out by Hussein and Arafat are the PLO's rejection of UN Resolution 242, claiming it was a valuable basis for a just solution which would guarantee the Pales- tinian people's rights. Jordan has stressed it would stick to this reso- lution. - Secondly, the PLO is banking for self-determination for an in- dependent state which would later merge with Jordan while Amman is in favor of self deter- mination within a confederation in relation to the privileged rela- tions between the Jordanian and Palestinian peoples. Thirdly, the PLO and the Jor- dan have accepted the idea of an international conference which would associate the permanent members of the UN Security Council and all Arab parties con- cerned but the PLO has made clear it would take part in such a conference as the sole and legiti- mate representative of the Pales- tinian people on equal footing with all other Arab parties while Jordan has suggested the setting up of a joint delegation. In a related development, Palestinian terrorist chief Abu Nidal, believed dead since last November, came back under the spotlight with an interview given to a French journalist in which Nidal claimed his organization had set as its goal the ,murder of King Hussein. In the interview, published in the monthly France Pays Arabe, Nidal said his terrorists would in-, tensify operations against Israel.
