Hillel Day School 32200 Middlebelt Farmington Hills 851-2394 Shamir, the status of the long stalled peace process was re- viewed and brought up to date. Shultz and the Israelis are in agreement that the Arabs must put together a joint Jordanian-Palestinian dele- gation before any new round of negotiations can begin. Peres told the Cabinet that no list of delegates had been presented to him by Shultz. The outstanding problem, one which is not expected to be resolved quickly, is the com- position of the joint delega- tion. Its members must be ac- ceptable to Israel and — as Shultz pointed out to Ameri- can reporters later aboard his plane bound for Cairo — also acceptable to the Palestinians. According to Peres, the composition of the delegation was one of the three main obs- tacles listed by Shultz to the resumption of the peace proc- ess. The others were: the de- mand by the Arab side that initial talks be held by the delegation with Reagan Ad- ministration officials in Wash- ington, before Israel is brought into the picture; and Jordan's demand that the process be conducted within the framework of an interna- tional peace conference that would include the five perma- nent members of the United Nations Security Council. Israel has the strongest re- servations against both of those demands. Peres and Shamir were categorical in their rejection of an interna- tional peace conference as the forum for negotiating with the Arabs and their position was made clear in the official Cabinet communique issued after Sunday's session. But the most immediate problem which could have re- percussions for the Labor- Likud coalition government, is the nature of the joint Jordanian-Palestinian dele- gation. Shultz said, according to Peres' report to the Cabinet, that in appraising the delega- tion, Isael must look at "per- sons," not "categories." This appeared to be an oblique reference to whether members of the Palestine National Council (PNC) would be ac- ceptable. The PNC is widely seen as the PLO's parliament-in-exile and as far as Israel is con- cerned is undifferentiated from the PLO. Foreign Minister Shamir, the Likud leader, took a categorically negative posi- tion with repsect to the PNC at his meeting with Shultz last Friday. At a subsequent question-and-answer session with reporters he flatly ruled out PNC members as possible negotiating partners. Peres, who heads the unity government and will continue to do so for the next 16 months — before handing over the rotating Premiership to Shamir — was more equivocal on the subject. He told the Cabinet Sunday that Israel's position is that "We will reject anyone who be- longs to an organization which is committed to the Palesti- As far as Israel is concerned, the PNC is no different than the PLO. nian Convenant." The Cove- nant, drawn up by the PLO in the 1960s and subsequently amended, denies Israel's right to exist as a sovereign state and pledges the PLO to an armed struggle to eradicate it. The document was adopted by the PNC and re-affirmed at successive PNC assemblies. Peres appears reluctant to take a clear cut position on the issue as long as the joint Jordanian-Palestinian dele- gation remains hypothetical. It is unclear, for example, whether the PNC is an "organ- ization" within the meaning of the Premier's statement; or if a person who was a member at its last session can be de- scribed as "belong to" the PNC, inasmuch as delegates are freshly elected for each session. The statements by Peres and Shamir reflect the funda- mental political and ideologi- cal differences between the Labor and Likud leaders and the divisions between the two major components of the unity government. Should the mat- ter come to a head, the gov- ernment might not survive. Deputy Foreign Minister Ronnie Milo, a Likud MK said last Friday that if a pro- posal evolved for Israeli talks with a delegation that in- cluded members of the PNC, the government inevitably would fall. Meanwhile, in Washington, the State Department ap- peared to be ignoring state- ments by Palestine Liberation Organization leaders that only PLO members selected by the terrorist group can repre- sent the Palestinians in talks with the United States.
