Arafat Supports
Peace Talks
O
Geneva (JTA) — Yassir
Arafat is giving strong in-
dications that he backs con-
tinued peace talks with
Israel, despite its deporta-
tion of 415 Moslem funda-
mentalists to Lebanon.
The Palestine Liberation
Organization leader told
reporters here he is still
committed to peace, and he
called on Palestinians in the
administered territories to
develop contacts with peace-
oriented Israelis in the
Labor and Meretz parties of
the coalition government.
Mr. Arafat condemned the
Israeli expulsions as "an
ethnic act and a war crime."
But he also spoke out
against such acts as the kid-
napping and brutal murder
of Israeli border policeman
Nissim Toledano by activists
of the Islamic fundamenta-
list Hamas movement.
Nevertheless, Mr. Arafat
said the slaying did not
justify the massive deporta-
tion to Lebanon of Hamas
and Islamic Jihad activists,
which occurred a few days
after the incident.
Observers said his
remarks appeared to signal
continuing differences bet-
ween the PLO and Hamas,
which have long been rivals
for Palestinian support in
the territories but have re-
cently shown unity in public
over the deportation issue.
Hamas opposed the peace
talks even before the Israeli
expulsions. It would like the
PLO to pull out of the
negotiations, but so far Mr.
Arafat has stopped short of
slamming the door on the
talks.
The Tunis-based PLO
leader, who calls the shots
for Palestinians negotiating
directly with Israel, spoke
after separate meetings here
with U.N. Secretary-General
Boutros Boutros-Ghali and
French Foreign Minister
Roland Dumas.
Mr. Boutros-Ghali told
reporters he was still
awaiting a third and final
report from his special envoy
to the Middle East, U.N.
Undersecretary-General
James Jonah, before taking
any further action.
He suggested that one
solution might be for Israel
to allow the 415 deportees to
return and imprison them,
pending charges and trial.
Mr. Dumas said he sug-
gested to Boutros-Ghali that
the United Nations Interim
Force in Lebanon look after
the 415 deportees, pending a
long-term solution.
