...discuss at the U.N. as the basis for further resolutions. The paper states that a "just and durable peace in the Middle East" depends on the fulfillment of two basic principles: 1) Israel must withdraw from Arab territories occupied during the 1967 war, including East Jerusalem, and 2) the Palestinians have a right to return to their place of origin, to self-determination, and to establish an independent state. The paper rejects Israel's creation of new settlements on the West Bank and calls on all countries to halt emigration of their citizens to "occupied Palestinian and Arab territories...
...negotiate with the Palestine Liberation Organization under any circumstances. A few days later, as representatives of the 21 member nations of the Arab League gathered in Cairo, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister, Prince Saud al Faisal, insisted that his country will back every effort to set up a Palestinian state on the West Bank and in Gaza.

But his bodyguards, who once sported beards and Kalashnikov assault rifles, are clean-shaven now and resemble Carter's Secret Service, down to the radio earpieces through which they receive orders when Arafat travels. The P.L.O. has even sent a team of potential ambassadors to East Germany to be drilled in diplomacy. But amid the diplomatic moderation, the Palestinians intend to keep pressure on Israel. The P.L.O. continues to train young fighters; Arafat at a recent...
