FIRMLY ROOTED IN ISRAEL, BRANCHING OUT IN NEW DIRECTIONS AMERICAN ISRAEL CORPORATION Keeping An Eye On The Elections HELEN DAVIS Israel Correspondent L ondon — The Pales- tine Liberation Organ- ization is expected to play its first card this month in an unprecedented cam- paign to win legitimacy in the eyes of the new administra- tion in Washington. Middle East observers in Europe believe that the PLO, with the full support and blessing of Yassir Arafat, will recognize Israel's right to ex- ist when the Palestine Na- tional Council, the PLO's "parliament," meets in Tunis. This will be the most dra- matic gesture of conciliation that the PLO has made since it was founded in 1964. According to reports by well-informed sources in Lon- don, the proposal to recognize Israel was hammered out at a series of secret meetings in Tunis last week and, if ratified by the Palestinian "parliament!' will have far- reaching repercussions in the Middle East. The PLO will not, in fact, explicitly recognize Israel but will, for the first time, offi- cially speak of the existence of "two states" on "the land of Palestine!' The move is aimed at neither the Europeans nor the Israelis, but rather at the incoming administration in Washington. The PLO leaders want to seize the initiative and per- suade a new U.S. president and a new secretary of state that they are serious and eager to negotiate. It is a move that they are clearly hoping will translate into a measure of legitimacy for themselves and pressure on Israel to make radical concessions. According to one report, about 20 PLO leaders met throughout last week at the PLO headquarters in central Tunis. The meetings often lasted well into the night and were held amid tight securi- ty, with PLO officials warning that Israel might attempt to assassinate one of their leaders. Palestinian sources, quoted in London, said one of the stormiest meetings was held last Thursday night when the new "two-state" position was finally resolved. Members of the extremist, pro-Syrian Rejectionist Front accused Arafat of being a traitor and passionately demanded that the PLO con- President Mubarak: Courting the West. tinue its policy of armed struggle until all of Palestine was "liberated!' A majority of the PLO lead- ers, however, reportedly agreed with Arafat's conten- tion that such a line was no longer viable. They contended that the Palestinian uprising in the occupied territories had pro- duced local leaders who believed that it was essential for the Palestinians to inject a note of realism into the debate. One significant develop- ment was the firm, open sup- port for the "moderate" line by Arafat's deputy, Abu Iyad. A former hard-liner, Abu Iyad declared that the PLO must confront reality or abandon its role as the sole represen- tative of the Palestinian people. Middle East observers be- lieve it was a measure of the success of the uprising that Arafat felt strong enough to push his case for negotiations. "We are trying to define political principles that the PLO as a whole can endorse," said PLO spokesman Khaled Hassan, "principles that will be accepted by the interna- tional community and make the Americans less hostile!' In addition to its non- explicit recognition of Israel, the Palestine "parliament" also is expected to declare an independent Palestinian state and to authorize the PLO leadership to establish a provisional government. Bassam Abu Sharif, a senior Arafat lieutenant, is confident that the new U.S. administration will ultimate- ly accept the need for an in- dependent Palestinian state and grant recognition to the provisional government.
