...this agreement from the time Kissinger began moving toward it. We saw it as a blow against the Arab and Palestinian people, for it was obvious that Kissinger's move meant to split Arab solidarity. The Arab masses are aware of this American plot. At the Algiers and Rabat summit meetings, it was agreed that the struggle depended on three main pillars: Egypt, Syria and the Palestinians. Now the Syrians and Palestinians are united against this suspected plot. There is no doubt that what has taken place will influence political currents. But we have survived so many difficulties...
...discuss increased military coordination between the two countries. He also sought to ease continuing strained relations between King Hussein and the P.L.O. The visit was something of a triumph for the Jordanian King, whose standing in the Arab world has been steadily reviving since last year's Rabat summit, where Arab leaders accepted Arafat rather than the King as sole spokesman for the Palestinian cause...
Perhaps the most serious problem posed by Geneva is that of Palestinian representation. At last October's Rabat summit the Arab states recognized the Palestinian Liberation Organization as the "sole and legitimate" representative of the Palestinian people.

Sadat, nevertheless, stressed Egypt's support of Arab unity by conferring in Riyadh with Palestine Liberation Organization Leader Yasser Arafat after King Faisal's funeral. At Geneva, Egypt and Syria are expected to carry out the will of the Arab summit at Rabat last October by jointly demanding that the P.L.O. be seated instead of Jordan. The Soviets will automatically go along with such a resolution, but Washington cannot. Kissinger's stated position has long been that the U.S. will not talk to Arafat or the P.L.O. until the Palestinian guerrilla groups...
...Israel and Egypt to reach a second-stage disengagement agreement in the Sinai. The Palestinians fear that such a deal would not only separate Egypt from the other Arab confrontation powers but also dilute the credibility and momentum that the P.L.O. gained last year from the Arab summit at Rabat and Arafat's appearance at the United Nations. Israeli officials, at least, insist that Arafat's position is declining significantly on the West Bank because Palestinians are beginning to question his power. For the West Bankers, a plausible alternative to Arafat is Jordan's King Hussein, with...
