GAYNORS SEMI-ANNUAL IME sively and insatiably buying arms, stands in perpetual fear of a palace revolt. President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt faces dangerous threats from the fundamen- talists who assassinated his predecessor, Anwar al-Sadat, and from the younger, edu- cated classes who see no hope for themselves in Egypt's parlous economic future. Egypt, the largest of the Arab states, formally recog- nized Israel in the Camp David peace treaty. The Lebanese government recog- nized Israel and signed a peace treaty which it was forced by Syria to repudiate.

King Hassan II of Morocco has had personal contact with Israeli leaders over the past two de- cades. The other so-called moder- ate states implicitly acknowl- edged the existence of Israel when they put forward the Fez Plan which provided for recognition of Israel's right to exist in peace within its bor- ders after its cession of East Jerusalem and the other ter- ritories Israel occupied in the Six-Day War in 1967. Even Yasir Arafat and the Pales- tine Liberation Organization have offered "official" recog- nition of. Israel in- exchange for Israeli acceptance of a Palestinian Arab state on the West Bank. But the self-inflicted Arab delusion that Israel was a non-state whose existence could be denied was blown away forever by King Has : san, when he invited Israel's Prime Minister Shimon Peres to visit him in Ifrane and dis- cuss the conditions for an Arab-Israeli peace settle- ment. The meeting, for all its lack of substantive accom- plishment, was a milestone on the rocky road to peace. For the first time since Sadat flew to Jerusalem and the process was initiated that led to the Camp David accords, the head of an Arab state - the president of the Arab League - met openly and of- ficially with the head of the Jewish State. What is clear today is that the direction of Arab-Israeli relations will have to be re- solved by the Arabs and Is- raelis themselves and cannot be resolved by the imposition by a third party - the United States or combination of nations - of a settlement - plan based on the concept of land for peace. There is a role for the United States, the Western powers and the. Soviet Union to play - an important role - in resolving the deadlock, but it is one which they have been reluctant to attempt or unsuccessful in earlier ef- forts. That role is simply to bring pressure on the recal- citrant Arab states to meet Israel, without preconditions, and directly negotiate the settlement of their outstand- ing issues. The Arab states, whether they realize it or not, have lost what was once their strongest card - the recogni- tion of Israel. Decades ago, the Israelis would have sac- rificed much for that recogni- tion. Today, the Jewish State has survived the Arab ostrich-like refusal for nearly 40 years and it can continue to exist without it. Admit- tedly, Israel, and the Arab lands, too, would be infinitely better off all around if there were a genuine Arab-Israeli peace and normal relations prevailed. "The existence of the State of Israel is no longer a sub- ject for discussion," said the Frankfurter Rundschau, one of West Germany's most inf- luential newspapers, in a re- view of the Peres-Hassan meeting at Ifrane. "The offer to recognize Israel (in the Fez Plan) and not even directly, has • become particularly worthless as a bargaining point. "It is particularly unrealis- tic," the paper added,. "to ex- pect Israel to relinquish East Jerusalem and the occupied territories in their entirety in return for such a vague con- cession." The paper deplores the fact• that the Arab leadership has not been able to make a "cool, calm and collected analysis" of the situation and that 'politicians in the Arab world seem to incline toward merciless exaggeration that defies objective approach:" It declares that "Arab solidarity with the oppressed Palesti- nian people is not worth the paper such declarations are printed on," and concludes that the Arab leaders "seem virtually incapable of pursu- ing a truly realistic policy." Shimon Peres returned from Ifrane convinced that considerable progress has been made there. Now it remains for the Arabs and Israelis each to get their act together. The Is- raelis must decide how far they are prepared to go to meet Palestinian Arab aspi- rations. The Arab states must decide once and for all to ac- cept realities .and come to terms with Israel. The Pales- tinians, like other people be- fore them who have been trapped by history, must rec- ognize their attainable limits and accept them. 2 DAYS ONLY!
