Israeli letter
on Jerusalem
displeases Egypt
CAIRO, Egypt (UPI) - Egypt
received a crucial letter from Israel on
the Jerusalem crisis yesterday but a
high-ranking official indicated that he
was not happy with its contents and that
the Palestinian autonomy talks would
not immediately resume. -
The 15-page letter from Israeli Prime
Minister Menachem Begin to Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat was delivered
to Vice President Hosni Mobarak by
Israeli Ambassador Eliahu Ben-Elis-
sar.
SADAT, WHO suspended the
Palestinian autonomy negotiations last
weekend for the third time in three
months, had said no decision to resume
the talks would be taken until he
received Begin's reply to a letter he
sent the Israeli leader.
The exchange of letters centered over
the latest crisis to Middle East peace
efforts caused by Israel's formal
declaration that Jerusalem is and
forever will remain the undivided
capital of the Jewish state.
Mobarak received and examined
Begin's letter during a 45-minute
meeting with Ben-Elissar. He would not
comment on its contents directly but he
indicated he was not happy with
Begin's reply.
"We shall not resume the
negotiations so long as there are Israeli
preconditions," Mobarak told repor-
ters. "We shall never accept precon-
ditions."
He did not elaborate. But Egypt
. repeatedly has said it regards as a
precondition the new Israeli law an-
nexing Arab East Jerusalem and
making it part of an "indivisible and
eternal" national capital. Egypt argues
this move prejudges the issue and
removes it from the Palestine
autonomy negotiations where Sadat
believes it belongs.
Israeli officials and news reports ha-
ve quoted Begin's message as saying
Egypt was free to raise the Jerusalem
issue in negotiations but Israel will not
budge from its position.
Cairo newspapers quoted Foreign
Ministr Kamal Hassan Alias saying the
14-month-old autonomy talks, in which
the United States is a partner, will
remain suspended until Israel changes
its position on Jerusalem.
Mobarak said he did not read the
whole letter during the meeting with
Ben-Elissar but did discuss its main
pointa.

that of Violeta, heroine of Giuseppe
Verdi's opera, "La Traviata," it might
be understandable.

fering for over a month with flu and
bronchitis, received a standing ovation
