PLO, Israel
Discuss Security

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Palestin-
ians will need six months to
build an effective police force
in the territories and 18
months to construct a strong
security force, high-ranking
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization officials have told
Israeli security experts.
With this information as a
guide, the PLO officials said
the Israel Defense Force
should first withdraw from
peaceful areas and leave
troublesome refugee camps
for the end, according to
Joseph Alpher, director of
Tel Aviv University's Jaffee
Center for Strategic Studies,
who participated in the
discussions.
The Palestinian self-rule
agreement signed in Wash-
ington stipulates that IDF
forces will begin their
withdrawal from the Gaza
Strip and West Bank town of
Jericho by mid- December.
Complete withdrawal of
the forces was set for mid-
April of next year.
Mr. Alpher said the PLO
officials and Israeli security
experts had also discussed
the possibility of equipping
the Palestinian forces with
armored personnel carriers,
machine guns and spotter
helicopters.
The meetings began in Oc-
tober 1992 and were held at
two- month intervals under
the auspices of the American
Academy of Arts and
Sciences.
In addition to Mr. Alpher,
who is a former Mossad offi-
cial, the Israeli team includ-
ed reserve Maj. Gen. Shlomo
Gazit, a former chief of
military intelligence who is
currently senior researcher
at the Jaffee Center; and
Zeev Schiff, a writer on
defense issues for the Israeli
daily Ha'aretz.
The three participated in
the talks on a personal basis
and had no government
backing.
The Palestinians,
however, were formal repre-
sentatives of the PLO, ac-
cording to Mr. Alpher.
The PLO team included
Nizar Amar, military ad-
viser to Mahmoud Abbas,
who signed the declaration
of principles with Israeli
Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres at the White House;
Ahmed Khalidi, the defense
adviser to the Palestinian
delegation to the peace
talks; and Yazid Sayigh,
who heads the Palestinian

delegation to the
multilateral talks on arms
control.
Mr. Alpher said the
meetings led him to believe
that Israeli and Palestinian
security officials can find
solutions to the problems in-
volved in implementing the
new Israeli-PLO accord.
According to Mr. Alpher,
there was an
"understanding" that the
Palestinian security forces
will need armored personnel
carriers and machine guns
for their patrols.
They need "something
which will give them a
decisive edge" over squads of
the Islamic fundamentalist
group Hamas, "who will
barricade themselves in the
(refugee) camps," Mr.
Alpher said.
Armored personnel car-
riers "are no threat to
Israel's security, but a PLO
force of a few thousand men
backed by a few spotter
helicopters and good com-
mand could prevent a blood-
bath," he said.
The Palestinians want
their police force to be very
impressive from the moment
it appears on the scene, "so
that the people will see they
have a police," Mr. Alpher
recounted.
On the other hand, the Pa-
lestinians were reluctant
about cooperating with the
Israelis on intelligence
matters, he said.
They feared open coopera-
tion with Israel would make
them appear to be collab-
orators, or "a local South •
Lebanon Army," considered
an Israeli surrogate.
The Israelis countered
they were talking about co-
operation among equals and
that this is essential for the
successful transfer of au-
thority.
Participants were divided
over the security of Jewish
settlers.
The PLO representatives
said they should be respon-
sible for the entire territory
and suggested that their
own police monitor the set-
tlers.
But the Israeli contingent
disagreed.
"We worked very hard to
warn them of the seri-
ousness of the settlers' sen-
sitivities," Mr. Alpher said.
The Palestinian self-rule
agreement states that Israel
will be responsible for the
settlers' security.
