...Middle Eastern countries account for more than 76% of French arms revenues. Much of last year's spurt in orders came from a $3.22 billion deal with Saudi Arabia for surface-to-air missiles and an oil-for- aircraft arrangement that will send 18 Mirage 2000s to the United Arab Emirates. French arms also have been sold to Iraq for use in the war with Iran. Last year France probably sold more arms to the U.S. than it bought, and reportedly won two contracts worth $83 million to supply 4,000 runway penetration bombs to the U.S. Air Force. French...
...nothing less than direct negotiations with Jordan without prior conditions, and is not convinced that Hussein will accept such a process. But, Rabin continued, if the King wanted to assemble a Jordanian- Palestinian delegation for direct talks, "it's fine with us." Rabin said he personally favored an Arab delegation that included representatives from the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip because it is those territories that would be directly affected. Israel's only stipulation: that the Palestinian delegates not be members of the P.L.O. Rabin sounded somewhat optimistic about settlement prospects when, after assessing the changed state...

Against almost all expectations, it appeared that Hussein had made measurable progress in his quest to seek a new dialogue on the Arab-Israeli relationship. He had reaffirmed to the Reagan Administration that he and moderate Palestinians were interested in negotiations with Israel. He had told Reagan that he had gone over the details of his Washington statement with Arafat before coming to the U.S., and thus was conveying Arafat's "explicit" endorsement of the U.N. resolutions that implicitly recognize Israel's right to exist. Said Hussein: "Every word . . . in my statement is a result of agreement between...
Hussein also delicately redefined his insistence on an international conference as the forum for Israeli-Arab negotiations. The U.S. and Israel have opposed such a framework because it would give the Soviet Union a formal role in Middle East talks; Washington favors direct contacts between Israel and the Arabs. Last week Hussein suggested that he would be willing to negotiate under an international "umbrella." Translation: the primary parties, Israel and the Arabs, would meet face to face under the guidance of the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council. Said the King: "When I speak of negotiations, I obviously mean...
