Jerusalem (JTA) — A senior fig-
ure in the opposition Likud bloc
has called on his party to accept
the government's autonomy
agreement with the Palestinians
as well as last week's non-bel-
ligerency pact with Jordan.
Knesset member Moshe
Katzav, chairman of the main op-
position party's Knesset faction
and a former transportation min-
ister, also warned that if the
Likud lost the next election, it
would likely cease to exist as a
political party.
Mr. Katzav's statement, which
was made to the daily newspaper
Yediot Achronot and which he re-
peated in other media interviews
triggered controversy within his
party.
Former Prime Minister
Yitzhak Shamir said that if Mr.
Katzav sought to change the
Likud's policy platform he should
bring his proposals before the ap-
propriate party forums.
And Likud Chairman Ben-
jamin Netanyahu issued a state-
ment reiterating the party's
opposition to the autonomy agree-
ment with the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
briefed Mr. Netanyahu, Mr.
Katzav and other top Likud lead-
ers on the Washington Declara-
tion signed with Jordan in
Washington. The historic agree-
ment officially brought to an end
46 years of hostilities between the
two countries.
The Likud leadership has spo-
ken favorably of that agreement,
although with certain reserva-
tions regarding sections of the de-
claration granting Jordan special
status with regard to Muslim
holy sites in Jerusalem.
But until Mr. Katzav's cate-
gorical statements, the Likud's
major spokesmen have main-
tained, at least in public, a hos-
tile stance towards the
agreement with the PLO.
Mr. Katzav has now called for
a "reappraisal" by the Likud of
its policies on peace and securi-
ty, including those pertaining to
relations with the PLO.
He specifically called on his
party to proclaim its readiness to
deal with "any Palestinian rep-
resentation" regarding the full
implementation of autonomy as
provided for in the declaration of
principles signed at the White
House last September.
Mr. Katzav said his statement
was meant to include the PLO
and its chairman, Yassir Arafat.
Mr. Katzav set two conditions
for his new position: that imple-
mentation of the declaration oi.
violations by either side, and that
a Palestinian state be ruled out.
In that context, Mr. Katzav
hinted that he would even sup-
port his party joining with Labor
in a coalition of national unity.
He added that the Likud must
announce that it is forgoing its
previous demand that the Israeli
withdrawal from the Gaza Strip
be revoked. Israeli troops with-
drew from Gaza and the West
Bank town of Jericho following
the May 4 signing of the Cairo
agreement for implementing
Palestinian self-rule in the two
areas.
According to Yediot Achronot,
some senior figures in Likud who,
in anticipation of an agreement
between Mr. Rabin and Syrian
Moshe Katzav:
Will Likud cease to be?
principles be carried out without
President Hafez Assad, are al-
ready counseling flexibility on the
party's position regarding the
Golan Heights. Damascus has
been calling for a full Israeli with-
drawal from the Golan as a pre-
condition for a peace between the
two countries.
But these voices have yet to
make themselves heard on a pub-
lic platform in the way Mr.
Katzav has now done regarding
the agreement with the PLO.
In his media interviews, Mr.
Katzav expressed the prediction,
voiced by many politicians and
pundits here, that this year's his-
toric developments in the peace
process could trigger a drastic up-
heaval in Israel's domestic polit-
ical patterns.
Mr. Katzav said that the next
election, scheduled to take place
in 1996, would determine
whether the Likud would con-
tinue to exist as a major political
force and whether a Palestinian
state would inexorably evolve out
of the ongoing diplomatic process-
es.
