PAGE 12, THE HERALD, Tuesday, June 20, 1976 Israel will still occupy ' West Bank, Gaza Strip JERUSALEM (AP) — The israeli cabinet has refused again to promise to relinquish the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, saying Israel will negotiate the status of the territories five years after a peace agree- ment. , The cabinet, after a monthlong debate, adopted a policy statement Sunday which said that after five years of the limited self-rule Israel has promised the 1.1 million Palestinians in the . two territories, the nature of relations’’ between Israel, Jordan and the two terri- tories ‘will be considered and agreed upon at the suggestion of any of the parties.” (Reuters news agency quoted an Egyptian official as saying that Egypt regrets that Israel did not reapond positively to questions on the future of the Weat Bank and Gaza Strip. “We regret the intransigence of (Israel Prime Minister Menachem) Begin,” the official told Reuters.) : DEMAND UNCHANGED President Anwar Sadat has never modified his. demand that Israel.agree to withdraw unconditionally from all the Arab territories it occupied in the 1967 Arab- Israeli War. A spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) rejected the Israeli statement, saying the .Palestiniane wiil “sontinue the struggle to liberate our homeland and set up our Independent The Israeli cabinet's 14-to- &§ vote for the policy statement was a victory for Begin, who threatened to resign rather than accept an outright commitment ta give up the two territories taken from Jordan and Egypt. The statement evaded a U.S.. proposal that Israel agree to discuss the ‘“‘per- manent status’ of the territories after the fiveyear period. The Carter admin- istration hoped this would signify enough give by Begin to get the Egyptians back to the negotiating table. But Israeli officials ‘said this implied a commitment to decide the sovereignty of thé two territories, and Begin eontended such an advance commitment would un- dermine Israel's position in the future negotations. U.S. PLANS ROLE A U.S, state department spokesman in Washington said the U.S. government “will be consulting with each side about how to proceed on the basis of the Israeli response and the views' developed in our exchanges with Egypt.” . Begin proposed in December that the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza elect a governing council and have limited autonomy for five years while Israeli military contro] of the areas con- tinued, Sadat rejected the plan at the time, and the new cabinet statement attached two conditions to the proposal which presumably will also be unacceptable to the Arabs. . One specifies that autonomy will not be granted Cob gk ee until “‘the establishment of - Se peace," or apparently until Israel, Egypt and Jordan agree on a peace treaty. Theother is that more than two million Palestinians living in the Arab states will have no voice in the governing of the territories winner at aay price. .
