Nibbles & Nuts
Ex-Deportee
At Peace Talks
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
return to the West Bank of a
Palestinian man deported
five years ago may help
overcome one of the pro-
cedural obstacles to the pro-
posed Middle East peace con-
ference.
If Ali Abu Hilal is named
to the projected Jordanian-
Palestinian delegation, the
thorny issue of Palestinian
representation at the peace
talks may be solved, the
Israeli daily Ha'aretz said.
Israel allowed Abu Hilal to
return last week as part of a
prisoner exchange deal
made with groups in Leb-
anon. He arrived at Ben-
Gurion Airport on the same
plane that brought home the
remains of slain Israel
Defense Force soldier Samir
Assad, captured in Lebanon
in 1983.
At a news conference after
a triumphal return to his na-
tive village of Abu Dis, Abu
Hilal vowed to continue his
political activism and said
he would be willing to repre-
sent the Palestinians at a
peace conference if asked to
by the Palestine Liberation
Organization.
The Egyptian government
and the PLO reportedly have
urged his appointment.
Abu Hilal, then and now a
member of the Democratic
Front for the Liberation of
Palestine, a PLO constituent
group, was deported more
than five years ago for anti-
Israel activity.
He has since become a
member of the Palestine Na-
tional Council, the PLO's so-
called parliament-in-exile,
where he represents the
Democratic Front.
Ha'aretz suggested that if
Abu Hilal were allowed to
serve in the negotiating
delegation, he could use his
status as a former deportee
to represent Palestinians
who live in East Jerusalem
or the "Palestinian
diaspora," thereby satisfy-
ing a key demand of the
PLO.
As the newspaper pointed
out, Abu Dis is not within
the municipal boundaries of
Jerusalem drawn by Israel
after the city was united in
1967. But it was part of east
Jerusalem during the 19
years of Jordanian rule
before Israel captured it.
The Arab side, therefore,
could accept a resident of the
village as a representative of
east Jerusalem Arabs,
whereas to the Israelis, he
would be a resident of the
West Bank.

Israel refuses to allow
Arabs from outside the ad-
ministered territories on the
negotiating team, fearing
that would constitute
implicit recognition of the
Palestinians' "right of
return."
Abu Hilal, having been
abroad for more than five
years, would be accepted by
the Palestinians as a repre-
sentative of their diaspora.
Inasmuch as he is once
more a resident of the West
Bank, the Israelis could con-
sider him an indigenous
representative of the local
Palestinian population.
