Ih a White House press con¬ ference the day before Premier Menachem Begin made a surprise visit to see the President on Dec. 16, The President said-the PLO had "refused to make pubhc ac¬ knowledgement .that Israel has a right to exist in peace so I think they have, them¬ selves, removed the PLO from any immediate prospects of participate in a peace discussion." The President said that the PLO remained adamant against Israel "in spite of my own in¬ direct invitation to them, and the direct invitations by (Egyptian President) Sadat, by King Hussein (of Jordan) by King Khalid of Saudi Arabia." Carter added he did not "ascribe;' that kind of PLO "intransigence or negative attitude" toward any of "the other parties who have been mentioned as pos¬ sible participants. We want to be sure that at least moderate Palestinians are included in the discussions," he said. He did not indicate whether he meant at Cairo or Geneva. .

The MKs ac¬ knowledged that there have been some "leaks" from committee sources and , were prepared to take mea¬ sures to stop them. But they charged that the govern¬ ment was using the risk of leaks as a pretext towithhold information. Yitzhak Navon, of the Labor Alignment, a former chairman of the com¬ mittee, said on a television interview that apart from Dayan, Defense Minister Ezer Weizman and Premier Menachem Begin, it was his '' feeling that the Cabinet itself was not being given the full facts on current develop¬ ments. Some sources said that Dayan was not totally informed and therefore was in no position to offer an in- depth picture of ongoing diplomatic moves. Commit¬ tee chairman.

So per¬ haps I should switch profes¬ sions, because I am ex¬ tremely emotional and to a certain extent even aston¬ ished. I am here in Cairo, and it is not a dream. Cairo, the capi- tol of the biggest and most influential Arab state, is wel¬ coming the Israelis. Egyp¬ tians smile at us warmly,' shake our hands willingly and anxiously do their ut¬ most to make us feel at hbme. The words "El Al Israeli Airlines" decorated the plane which brought us here with the Israeli delegation. In Cairo today you can hear Hebrew being spoken and Israeli songs on the "radio. More importantly, yoiTcan' feel the warmth, friendship r.,and respect of your hosts. What 'an interesting world this is, what a crazy Middle East we. live in, what a dream, what a beautiful dream. As an Israeli you ask your¬ self: "Am I really in Cairo? Am I in the country which fought Israel four times in the past, causing the death and injury of tens of thou¬ sands, of our men? Am I standing in the country which conducted a bitter war of propaganda- against Israel in various interna¬ tional forums?" And you ask yourself: "Am I actually shaking hands with Egyp¬ tians whom I might have faced many times in the past on the battlefield?"' Then in a state of astonish¬ ment you query: "Are we go¬ ing to achieve peace this time? And if not, will we find ourselves face to face with these Egyptians on the bat¬ tlefield once again?" You cannot help but feel that your Egyptian host is asking himself these same ques¬ tions. ' All of us, Egyptians and Israelis alike, share the feel¬ ing that we are embarking upon a new era which might become a positive turning point in the Arab-Israeli con¬ flict. Despite the warm atmo¬ sphere, you cannot help but feelspme concern—concern not for the physical risk you as an Israeli are taking be¬ ing in Cairo, but concern that the mutual goodwill and cooperation will not be suffi¬ cient to close the wide gap between the Arab and Israeli / . positions. Where is the point of com¬ promise between the tradi¬ tional Arab demand for com¬ plete Israeli withdrawal from lands occupied since June, 1967, and Israel's re¬ fusal to accept this demand? How can the gap be closed between the Arabs' in¬ sistence upon the establish¬ ment of a Palestinian state and Israel's stiff opposition to such a state? What about Jerusalem? Will it be di¬ vided once again,- as the Arabs demand, or will it re¬ main united, as the .Israelis desire? All these and other ques¬ tions occupy your mind Standing here in Cairo you understand the full meaning of these questions and the implications of their answers. Afterwards, you sense some optimism.
