Anniversar there's so much to celebrate with family and friends. - Jerusalem (JTA) — George Habash, head of a Palestinian group that opposes the peace deal between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, has ex- pressed interest in coming to the self-rule areas to attend a meet- ing of the Palestine National Council. Israel Radio reported that the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's office in Amman sent the Palestinian Authority a list of 25 members, including Mr. Habash, who wish to attend. Meanwhile, Israel has re- turned to the Palestinian Au- thority a list of 193 PNC members requesting permission to return to the self-rule areas, and demanded more information about the list. Under the peace accords, the PNC must be convened no later than two months after the Pales- tinian Council, which was elect- ed Jan. 20, takes up its duties, which is expected to occur short- ly after the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The PNC, according to the peace accords, is expected to take action to remove the anti-Israel clauses from the Palestine Na- tional. Covenant. The Peres government has vowed to freeze negotiations with the Palestinians if the PNC fails to revoke those sections of the covenant. Mr. Peres said the Israeli gov- ernment would permit all mem- bers of the PNC, even those opposed to the peace accords and those with Jewish blood on their hands, to come to the Palestinian self-rule areas in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in order to attend the PNC sessions. Lafe last month, Nayef Hawat- meh, the head of the Democrat- ic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said in an interview with Israel Radio that he was ready to come from Syria to par- ticipate. at's why we've created CELEBRATE!
