Palestinian police must play a key role in the peace
process. So far, the signs are disconcerting.

The Council of Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit
Wants To Inform The Public That:

eace between Israel and
the Palestinians is ri
on the Palestinian police
force that is due to take
over in Gaza and Jericho.
If Israelis are to feel secure
with a self-governing Palestin-
ian entity, these police will have
to maintain order among the
roughly 800,000 Palestinian
residents and assert control
over terrorists looking to kill
Jewish settlers. Yet at this late
date, the Palestinian police force
remains an abstraction.

Egyptian and maybe, in some
aspects, Israeli law." Once the
law is codified, he says, the new
police will learn and enforce it,
and "it will be simple to just ap-
point judges and inform them
of the rules and regulations."
Courts and prisons will be set
up, the official says, but it is still
not known where. He hastens
to add that he is confident it will
all work out.
Most of the Palestinian po-
licemen will come from the
ranks of the Palestine Libera-

Palestinian laborers cross into Israel from Gaza.

The press has touted all sorts
of people as the PLO's "ap-
pointment" to be incoming po-
lice chief, but the PLO now
admits that the leader and the
rest of the hierarchy have not
been chosen. Figures ranging
from 4,000 to 25,000 have been
thrown out for the number of of-
ficers who will serve on the
force. Where they will get their
weapons, and what kind of
weapons these will be, is un-
clear.
Yet as soon as Israel and the
PLO finalize their accord, the
army is supposed to start
pulling out and the Palestinian
police are supposed to start
moving in.
A police department's job is
to enforce the laws of the land,
but the soon-to-be autonomous
regions of Gaza and Jericho
have no laws.
An official at PLO head-
quarters in east Jerusalem says
two committees of Palestinians
are now working on a body of
laws that will be "derived main-
ly from British, Jordanian,

tion Army. There are as many
as 10,000 PIA soldiers, spread
throughout the Arab Middle
East, waiting to cross the bor-
ders into Gaza and Jericho —
as soon as Israel and the PLO
decide who will control those
borders.
"Palestinians relate to the
PLA as a joke," says Josh Teit-
elbaum, an authority on Pales-
tinian affairs at the Dayan
Center for Middle Eastern and
African Studies. Founded along
with the PLO in 1964 as an
army-in-exile for a state-in-ex-
ile, the army's ranks, he said,
have been "sitting around" in
camps in Arab countries ever
since, drawing salaries.
Some of the veterans fought
a little with Egypt in the Six
Day War, and with Syria in the
Yom Kippur War, but the cur-
rent generation of soldiers have
no military experience, and cer-
tainly no police experience.
Training camps for the Pales-
tinian police are operating in
Egypt and Jordan, but Mr. Teit-
elbaum estimates that only a
