PLO Puts On New Face
At Geneva Conference

EDWIN EYTAN

G

eneva — For three
days running, Yassir
Arafat and the senior
PLO leadership used a
United Nations-sponsored
conference on Palestine in
September to present a new
image of their organization to
the Western world.
Breaking with a tradition of
outright hatred and non-
recognition of Israel's ex-
istence, the PLO was clamor-
ing for an international peace
conference and direct • talks
with Israel. Israel was no
longer a dirty word to be
avoided even in private by
any self-respecting PLO
leader, but was described as a
future negotiating partner.
Arafat himself proclaimed
in front of the participants at
the Geneva conference and
later at a press conference: "I
am not like those (in Israel)
who refuse to cooperate with
me or even pronounce my
name. I want to sit and
negotiate with Israel, and
Israel will naturally be
represented at any peace con-
ference by the Israeli govern-
ment. All I want is for the
Palestinians to be
represented by the PLO."
Have the outlook and mores
of the PLO leadership really
changed? Some of the Israeli
peaceniks attending the con-
ference said it was possible
that the PLO has become
more realistic in the face of its
repeated military defeats, its
disillusionment and the
treason of the Arab states.
On the other hand, official
Israeli sources said the PLO
only has undergone a facelift
to help it carry out "Opera-
tion Charm" to seek to win
the sympathy of Western
public opinion.
Outwardly, however, the
change was striking. In the
elegant bar of the Palais Des
Nations, the UN head-
quarters here, Farouk
Kadumi, the PLO's Foreign
Minister and advocate of ter-
rorist methods, puffed away
on a thick cigar.
Dr. Fathi Arafat, Yassir's
brother and head of the
Palestinian Red Crescent, sip-
ped coffee and discussed
medical problems. Abu Jihad,
who runs the PLO's terror
squads, socialized with the
Israeli representatives.
Raymonda Tawil, who ran a
pro-PLO news agency in
Jerusalem and who nowlob-
bies for the organization in
Paris and Washington, was
chic in a flowery silk dress.

Yassir Arafat: A peaceful image?

She exchanged smiles and
greetings with Israeli cor-
respondents. Shafiq Al-Hout,
the PLO representative in
Beirut who commands the
Palestinian commandos in
Lebanon, wore battle dress,
but it was white and impec-
cably ironed.
Only Arafat himself — Abu
Amer, as his followers call
him — wore his traditional
khaki uniform and a
checkered red queffiah. And
he still sported a two-day
beard.
But Abu Amer has chang-
ed over the last few years. His
uniform has become well cut
in what appeared to be a good
quality English cloth, his
speeches were delivered in a
calm and somewhat
monotonous voice and he
seemed to use every oppor-
tunity to show his "good will."
Some 600 Palestinians —
political military leaders --
were assembled in Geneva for
the three-day conference. The
top political administrative
echelons stayed at the lux-
urious Inter-Continental
Hotel,' and to all outward ap-
pearances acted like "govern-
ment officials" on an official
trip.
The new Palestinian line, if
it is to be believed, seems to
rest on political and
diplomatic action, and its
main target is Israel and
especially Israeli public
opinion.
In private conversations,
the PLO leaders — who no
longer avoided the Israelis
here, especially the Israeli
press — hammered away at
one main point: "We are open
to all suggestions. We want
the fighting to end; 40 years
is enough. The time has come
to sit down and talk. You (the
