U.S. Not Tilting
Away From Israel
NEW YORK (JTA)-For-
mer Secretary- of State"
Henry Kissinger said today
he did'not believe that the
Carter Administration was
tilting away from Israel and
toward the Arabs because of
the United States' need for
Middle East oil. "I would say
that the Administration obviously is looking at the oil
question,'' he said Jb response to a question of NBC-
TV's "Meet the Press." I
could not say from what I see
that there is a tilt against Israel.".
Kissinger also opposed including the Palestine Liberation Organization in the
current Middle East negotiations. "I do not believe
that the strategy of getting
the PLO into direct negotiations with Israel, or with us,
- is the best way of solving the
West Bank issue,", he said.
"I beliewve that any attempt
to bring about a direct -
■ negotiation between the PLO
and Israel is going to statement the negotiations. "He
„ ..-said nejiotiations betweenjfe-^
rael and Jordanwould be the
best way bf resolving the
West Bank problem.
The Carter Administration
is following the promise of
the Ford Administration, in
which Kissinger was Secretary of State, not to negotiate
with the PLO until it recognizes Security council Resolution 242 and Israel's right
to exist.
But when PLO chief Yasir
Arafat was asked in an interview with the Washington
Star whether,^ he could acknowledge the existence of
Israel, he declared, "Don't
ask me this question. I'm not
going to put my cards on the
table. I'm not going to uncover my cards." Arafat told
the Washington Star that the
Palestinians could use oil to
force talks with the U.S. "I
want it now,"besaid.

WASHINGTON, J(JTA)-
President Carter has ended
his recent silence regarding
his Administration's attitude
toward the Palestine Liberation Organization and an independent Palestinian state
and has affirmed that, he is
opposed to a Palestinian
state and pledged that the
United States will adhere to.
its position of not dealing
with PLO until that organization recognizes the right of
Israel to exist and accepts
United Nations Security'
Council Resolution 242. The
President made this clear in
an interview with editors on
Friday. The text of the interview was released yesterday.
. In recent weeks Israel has
exressed concern that the
Carter Administration was
shifting its attitude toward
the PLO and an independent
Palestinian state. Although
top Administration officials,
including Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance, have denied
any change in American
policy, Carter himself remained silent: The feeling ,
among Israelis that the U.S./!
"was,"despite public denials; •
shifting its Mideast policy.
thinking, was expressed in
its sharpest form by. Israeli
Foreign Minister' Moshe
Dayan last week when he
charged that the American
stance toward Israel and the
Mideast was" "not just an
erosion, but a fundamental
change in policy."
Carter, in responce to
questions, from^ editors
about his views "on the
Palestinians, declared, "I
will not deal with the PLO
unless they do two things:
accept the right of Israel to
exist, which they have-not
yet been willing to acknowledge,- and accept the fact
that United Nations Resolution 242 is' a document
binding on them. They have
got to accept 242 and accept
the right of Israel to exist.
This is a commitment we
have made. We have never
deviated from it. We are not
going to deviate from it."
On the issue of a Palestinian state,' the President affirmed: "I am against any
creation of a separate Pales-,
tinian state. I don't think it
would be good for the Palestinians. I don't think it would
be good for Israel, I-don't
think il would be good for the
Arab neighbors of such a
state." He, added that "we
must address and resolve
the Palestinian question in
all its aspects" and that
Palestinians "should have a
right to a voice in the determination of their own
future."
i There had been concern in
| Israel that the U.S. was seeking to change Resolution 242
as a way to woo the PLO to
the peace negotiating table.
However, last week Sen:
Richard  Stone   (D.  Fla.),
chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations subcommittee on the Middle East,
said that Vance had assured
him that the U.S. would veto
a Kuwaiti-sponsored resolution on Palestinian rights
pending before the Security
Cbunqil because it would alter .242 by calling for granting Palestinian sell-determination and for the right to
an independent state.
Meanwhile, the State
Department has said that it
had no information regarding a reported visit to the
US. next month by PLO
chief Yasir Arafat! A newspaper in Kuwait. Al Qabas.
reported yesterday that according to "authoritative
Palestinian sources" Arafat
would come to the UN General Assembly when it.convenes and also meet with
Vance. A State Department
spokesman said that no U.S.
official would meet with Arafat unless the PLO accepts
Resolution 242 and Israel's
right to exist.
