...only fair now to quote what Professor Said himself says about this: "The present Palestinian position therefore is [notice the careful formulation--he says the present position, i.e. subject to change] Israeli withdrawal from the West bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza; the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on those territories..." But in a recent television interview, Professor Said stated that the PLO demands self-determination for the Palestinians not only in these areas mentioned above, but also in Israel as Israeli citizens...
...declaration of principles. In fact, Kamel, Vance and Israel's Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan had considerably narrowed the language gap before the Egyptian delegation was ordered home two weeks ago.

In Jerusalem, for example, if there is Israeli sovereignty overall in an open city, open to all people, that would lead to cooperation between Israelis and Arabs, in itself a security guarantee. If there is a link of some kind between the West Bank and Gaza, that would require cooperation between Israelis and Arabs, another guarantee. Removal of barriers, fruitful cooperation, these are the things that provide security, not some military installations which can be removed or may become obsolete...
