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. LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS 737-8088 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.
