Rabin-Arafat Meeting
Shocks Politicos

Jerusalem (JTA) — The sur-
prise announcement that
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin would meet with
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization Chairman Yassir
Arafat in Cairo has sent
shockwaves through the
Israeli political estab-
lishment.
The scheduled meeting,
which was to be hosted by
Egyptian President Hosni
Mubarak, would be the first
encounter between Mr.
Rabin and Mr. Arafat since
their uneasy but historic
handshake on the White
House lawn last month seal-
ed a preliminary agreement
on Palestinian self-rule in
the administered territories.
News of the planned
meeting caught many by
surprise here, because Mr.
Rabin is widely regarded as
suspicious of Mr. Arafat and
not convinced of the PLO's
readiness to make peace
with Israel.
But sources in Tunis,
where the PLO head-
quarters is located, said the
meeting was convened at
Israel's request. Israeli offi-
cials, however, declined to
confirm this.
According to Oded Ben-
Ami, a spokesman for Mr.
Rabin, the meeting will
"smooth the start of negotia-
tions on the implementa-
tion" of the agreement
signed in Washington.
The face-to-face encounter
comes after a week in which
Mr. Arafat charged the
Israeli leader with subver-
ting the peace process.
In two separate letters of
protest to the Israeli
government during the past
week, Mr. Arafat charged
that recent Israel Defense
Force raids on suspected ter-
rorist locations in the Gaza
Strip and West Bank have
violated the principles of the
self-rule agreement.
In response, Mr. Rabin has
stated publicly that Israeli
security forces would con-
tinue to target Arab
militants bent on undermin-
ing the Israeli-PLO agree-
ment. He said that Israel
would persist in these ac-
tions without coordinating
its moves with "anyone."
The issue of the IDF raids
was almost certain to be on
the agenda of the Cairo
meeting.
While maintaining that
the actions are necessary for
Israel's security, Mr. Rabin

was likely to promise Mr.
Arafat to release wanted
men who were not directly
involved with terrorist ac-
tivities.
Mr. Arafat, for his part,
was expected to demand that
Israel not only put an end to
its operations against ter-
rorists, but also that the
Israeli government release
Sheik Ahmad Yassin, the
leader of the Islamic funda-
mentalist Hamas move-
ment, who is serving a term
of life imprisonment for his
involvement in planning
terrorist attacks.
The announcement of the
meeting triggered angry
reactions by Israeli opposi-
tion politicians.
Benjamin Netanyahu,
chairman of the Likud party,
criticized Mr. Rabin for giv-
ing Mr. Arafat the
legitimacy of a head of state.
The heads of two other
right-wing opposition par-
ties, Rafael Eitan of Tsomet

Abb..

Ahmed Yassin:
His release a demand?

and Rehavam Ze'evi of
Moledet, charged that Mr.
Rabin has lost control of the
situation and that Arafat
has taken the initiative in
the political aftermath of the
signing of the self- rule ac-
cord.
Within the Likud, there is
dissatisfaction over the par-
ty's posture in the weeks
since the historic agreement
with the PLO was reached.
Hard-liners and moderates
are speaking out with in-
creasing vigor on the need
for the Likud to offer the
public a clear alternative to
the government's position.
The Likud leadership, far
from united, is pondering
