Jerusalem (JTA) — A month
after the Israelis and
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization signed their historic
accord for Palestinian self-
rule in the Gaza Strip and
the West Bank town of
Jericho, leaders of the
formerly bitter adversaries
held meetings to get to the
nitty-gritty of the agree-
ment.
Israeli and PLO leaders
reached agreement on
several immediate pro-
cedures to begin implemen-
ting the Palestinian self-
t rule accord signed by both
parties Sept. 13 in Washing-
ton.
One of the most conten-
tious issues, the border of
Jericho and the area over
which the Palestinians will
have dominion, is on the
agenda for a future meeting.
A liaison committee met in
Cairo, attended by Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres and
Environment Minister Yossi
Sarid of Israel.
Representing the Palestin-
ians was Mahmoud Abbas,
known as Abu Mazen, who
played a key role behind the
scenes in the secret negotia-
tions held earlier this year
in Oslo, Norway, which led
to the self-rule agreement.
As the liaison committee
opened its session, Mr. Peres
said it would deal with
"principles, not with
details."
Following the meeting,
Mr. Peres, asked by
reporters if the Israeli army
would withdraw from the
Gaza Strip and Jericho by
Dec. 13, as stipulated in the
accord, gave an emphatic
"yes."
In fact, he said, "if possible
we shall try to do it earlier."
As the liaison committee
was convening in Cairo,
other Israeli and PLO
negotiators were meeting in
the Sinai border town of
Taba to discuss details for
implementing the accord.
Meanwhile, discord within
the PLO about the agree-
ment was officially dispell-
ed.
At a two-day PLO meeting
in Tunis, PLO Chairman
Yassir Arafat fully took the
reigns of negotiations with
Israel by placing men loyal
to him at the helm of key
committees and purging op-
ponents from the PLO.
In a strong move, Mr.
Arafat barred from Tunisia
several PLO officials who
opposed the accord signed
with Israel.
A two-day meeting of the
PLO Central Council ended
with a unanimous endorse-
Israel will meet the
Dec. 13 Deadline.
ment of Arafat as executor of
the negotiations with Israel.
In Cairo, the liaison com-
mittee, which has the task of
overseeing all general ar-
rangements for implemen-
ting the accord, agreed to
hold its meetings in Cairo
every two to three weeks.
The committee further
agreed to establish subcom-
mittees to deal with specific
issues as they arise.
In line with this thinking,
the liaison committee called
for the immediate estab-
lishment of an Israeli-
Palestinian economic coop-
eration committee.

economic department, was
