"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."

L 12 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1991 Zip 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." ❑ Il l LOCAL NEWS hm Federation Elects New Board Mark Schlussel was elected to a third one-year term as president of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit at its annual meeting at Adat Shalom Synagogue.
