"My belief is that real
stability will reign in our re-
gion only after the
democratization process
comes to the Arab world as
well, something which so far
has never really happened,"
he said.
"Despite hostile phenome-
na, unabated violence and
terror, Israel has not altered
its policies and its aspiration
to negotiate with its neigh-
bors. And if the Arab govern-
ments have agreed to come
to the negotiating table,
albeit 40 years late, we
welcome it.
"This implies no conces-
sion on their part and they
are not doing us a favor. I
hope that their decision, if it
indeed comes, is a result of
the realization that there is
no way to resolve the conflict
other than (through) direct
negotiations and I also hope
that when they come to
speak to us, the goal will be
to establish lasting peace
and coexistence."
How about giving them
something they'll never ask for.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1991

The prime minister said
the necessity of external
elements to catalyze the dip-
lomatic process "indicates
that the leaders of many
Arab states have, in their
hearts, not yet come to terms
with the existence of the
State of Israel and have yet
to realize that the only way
to true and lasting peace is
through direct dialogue."
In one of his more strident
moments during the speech,
Mr. Shamir also warned that
Israel would walk out of the
planned peace talks if Pales-
tinian representatives, who
will be drawn from the West
Bank and Gaza, "announce
at any stage that they were
appointed by, or represent,
the PLO terrorist organiza-
tion . . . Israel will not sit
with them."
"As we clarified to our
American interlocutors, and
as was agreed with them,
the PLO terrorist organiza-
tion will not at any phase
take part in the peace pro-
cess," the prime minister in-
sisted.
He also declared flatly that
the issue of Jerusalem "will
not be discussed in the
negotiations . . . Jerusalem
will forever remain a city
that is bound together, the
capital of Israel and of the
Jewish people, the city of
peace."
Mr. Shamir insisted that
the opening conference ses-
sion, which will be co-
sponsored by the U.S. and
the Soviet Union and will
include United Nations and
the European Community
representatives, would be a
purely "ceremonial event"
lasting one or two days.
He served notice that
Israel would not agree to
return to the conference
format after it had fulfilled
its ceremonial function and
had given way to the face-to-
face talks, and that Israel
wants to talk about more
than just trading land-for-
peace.
"If only territorial matters
are raised by our neighbors
as the core of the discus-
sions, we will know that
they came to the process for
this end only, that their in-
tentions are not toward
peace and we will draw the
appropriate conclusions," he
said.
Israel would agree to the
implementation of
autonomy for the Palestin-
ians in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip, in line with the
Camp David Accords, the
prime ministers said, while
Israeli law would continue to
apply to the Golan Heights.
Finally, Mr. Shamir
dismissed calls for Israeli
territorial concessions,
which he said have been
transformed into "a supreme
command, binding and
automatic." Rather, the
"operative bottom line" of
UN resolutions on the con-
cerning Israel "is the
holding of negotiations
toward establishing a just
and lasting peace." ❑
