Future still

uncertain

for Palestinian refugees

By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign News Analyst
Beyond the questions of cease-
fire, prisoner exchange and Is-
raeli withdrawal from occupied
Arab lands is another so far
receiving little attention but pos-
sibly the most difficult of all to
solve - the question of the Pales-
tinian refugees.
Of approximately three million
Palestinians, 1.5 million are re-
gistered refugees.
SOME ARE double refugees,
having first fled Palestine in the
1948 Arab-Israeli war and hav-
ing been caught up again in the
1967 war.
The Arab-Israeli wars all have
been emotional, religious and poli-
tical.
And among the refugees living
in camps - 85,000, for example,
in Lebanon alone - each of these
elements is developed to the
highest degree. Children growing
up angrier and more ideological
than their parents. Asked where
he comes from, a child w i l l
answer with the name of the vil-
lage his parents left but he has
never seen.
HAVING NO real leadersnip
and no real base, they are sub-
ject to the political whims of
their host Arab countries.
Egypt gives them lip service

but cares little about them. Sy-
ria would use them for control
of the Arab guerrilla movement
against Israel, Lebanon worries
about the possible upset in its
religious balance between Christ-
ian and Mohammedan.
Since Jordan has more Pales-
tinians than any other nation,
some 600,000, King Hussein re-
gards himself as their chief
spokesman. But that role is con-
tested by the more extreme of
the guerrilla leaders.
AT ANY RATE, it is a prob-
lem that has defied solution for
25 years and cost around $1 bil-
lion, most of it coming from the
United States.
The Arabs have insisted the
refugees are Israel's responsi-
bility and has demanded that
they be permitted to return to
their former homes. and be com-
pensated for their losses.
Israel had admitted some re-
sponsibility but has denied the
problem is hers alone. Besides,
she says, she will not permit re-
turn of people committed to her
destruction.

A SUGGESTION which Russia
has been trying out on guerrilla
leaders is for establishment of
an independent Palestinian na-
tion on the west bank of the
Jordan river. It is land Israel
seized from Jordan in the 1967
war.
King Hussein has proposed an
autonomous Palestinian state on
the west bank of the river in-
side a federated Kingdom of
Jordan.
Neither plan would be accept-
able to the Israelis, who would
regard such a Palestinian pre-
sence as a dagger pointed at Is-
rael's side.
ISRAEL HAS yet to come for-
ward with a concrete pian of her
own. After the 1948 war about
150,000 Palestinians remained in
Israel. About 80 per cent of them
accepted compensation fo,- lost
properties.
In East Jerusalem, w h i c h
Israel annexed two weeks after
its 1967 victory, it has offered
to compensate Arabs for 1 o s t
property on the basis of assess-
ed value in 1947 plus 25 per
cent. The cost has been esti-
mated as high as $100 million.

the Israelis, who say the encirclement had been completed by then and
any changes in the line after that date were the result of Egyptian
violations.
Israel chief negotiator Maj. Gen. Aharon Yariv is understood to
have suggested a mutual withdrawal of Israeli and Egyptian forces
to the eve of the Oct. 6 war positions, involving a complete pullback
of Israeli forces from the bulge they now hold on the westbank of the
100-mile-long waterway, and a withdrawal of Egyptians from their
Sinai eastbank foothold.
United Nations peacekeeping forces would take up positions between
the two sides along a six-mile stretch on either bank of the canal.
THE SOURCES SAID the Egyptians sought a unilateral Israeli with-
drawal 25 miles east of the waterway to the strategic Mitla and Giddi
passes.
