Jerusalem (JTA) — Implemen-
tation of Israel's peace accord
with the Palestine Liberation Or-
ganization passed another mile-
stone as officials transferred
authority for taxation and health
affairs in the West Bank to the
Palestinians.
The transfers marked the com-
pletion of the so- called "early em-
powerment," under which
Palestinians took over control of
five key areas of authority in the
West Bank, including education,
welfare and tourism.
Israel formally handed over
responsibility for tax collection at
a ceremony Thursday in the
civil administration building in
the West Bank town of Ramal-
lah. Health affairs were handed
over during a ceremony in
Nablus.
The ceremonies were due to
take place earlier this week, but
were delayed until the Palestin-
ian Authority received confirma-
tion from donor countries
meeting in Belgium that money
would be available to cover day-
to-day expenses for the next few
months.
At a two-day meeting in Brus-
sels, a group of foreign donor na-
tions, acting along with the World
Bank, agreed to provide about
$200 million in grants and loans
to support the cash-strapped
Palestinian Authority.
The transfer came just days
before Israel and the PLO were
due to meet in Cairo to begin ne-
gotiations on the next stage of au-
tonomy.
Those negotiations will focus
on the redeployment of Israeli
troops in the West Bank and the
scheduling of Palestinian elec-
tions.
The talks are expected to be
difficult. Israel has expressed
concern that the security of Is-
raelis who live in the territories
cannot be guaranteed if and
when a troop withdrawal takes
place.
According to the self-rule ac-
cord signed last year in Wash-
ington, the troop withdrawal
should take place prior to the
holding of Palestinian elections.
Some Israeli government offi-
cials spoke out about renegotiat-
ing the timetable of the self-rule
accord.
Deputy Foreign Minister Yos-
si Beilin told Israeli Radio that
there was no point in being stuck
in negotiations over an interim
arrangement — which covers the
first five years of Palestinian self-
rule — and that it would be more
effective to move ahead with ne-
gotiations on a permanent
arrangement.
The permanent-status talks,
which will cover such issues as
settlements and who will control
Jerusalem, are scheduled to be-
gin in May 1996.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
lashed out at Mr. Beilin for his
remarks, saying, "The govern-
ment will continue its policy to-
ward negotiations on the interim
arrangement."
Mr. Beilin, one of the architects
of the self-rule accord signed last
year in Washington, offered his
view of a final-status arrange-
ment: A confederation between
Jordan and the Palestinian enti-
ty, full demilitarization in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip,
changes to the 1967 borders and
a Jerusalem united under Israeli
rule.
As a result of the transfers of
authority, the Palestinians will
now be responsible for collecting
some $96 million in taxes from
Arab residents of the West Bank.
The agreement does not include
Israelis who live in the territo-
ries.
The Palestinians will
now be responsible
for collecting taxes
from Arab residents
of the West Bank
Mohammed Nashashibi, the
Palestinian Authority official in
charge of finance, said he believed
the self-rule government would
be able to install the necessary
mechanisms to collect these fees.
In preparation for the trans-
fer, the Palestinian Authority has
been recruiting tax and customs
employees. Most Palestinians
previously involved in such work
resigned during the Palestinian
uprising that began in 1987.
Those officials viewed Israel's tax-
ation of the territories as part of
the government's oppression of
Palestinians.
In recent weeks, the officials
have been undergoing training,
and Israel will provide consul-
tation services for the next six
months.
In the area of health services,
meanwhile, the Palestinians
have an annual budget of some
$33 million and some 2,000
Palestinian employees.
An Israeli civil administration
spokesman said it would be up to
the Palestinian Authority to de-
cide if it wants to maintain any
relationship with the Israeli med-
ical system.
