PLO leaders accept resolution
ALGIERS, Algeria — PLO leaders ac
cepted a U.N. resolution Sunday implicitly
recognizing Israel’s right to exist and recom
mended that the PLO's parliament endorse the
decision.
The move means that Yasser Arafat, chair
man of the Palestine Liberation Organization,
has won his struggle with hard-line leaders over
the controversial U.N. Resolution 242.
If the decision is accepted by the Palestine
National Council, the PLO’s parliamcni-in
exile.it will meet one of the conditions for U.S.
recognition of the PLO.
The declaration accepting the resolution
was debated and being drafted by a committee
for presentation to the plenary session of the
Palestine National Council, which began a
four-day meeting in Algiers on Saturday.
“The PNC will come out with a political
decision and a program of peace,” said PLO
spokesman Ahmed Abdul-Rahman.
“In the political statement, we will adopt all
resolutions of the U.N. Security Council deal
ing with the Palestinian question. What’s mere,
we will emphasize resolutions 242 and 338 as
the basis for an international conference to
achieve peace in the Middle East.”

and Israeli withdrawal trom territories occu
pied in the 1967 war. Adopted by the Security
Council in 1967, it implicitly recognizes Israel
by referring to the right of all stales in the area
to live within secure and recognized borders.
Resoluuon 338, passed in 1973 during the
Arab-Isracli war, calls for an end to fighting;
urges implementation of Resolution 242 and.
most important, calls for negotiations between
Arabs and Israel toward “a just and durable
peace in the Middle East."
In the closed-door committee meetings
among PLO leaders, there was strong opposi
tion to Resolution 242 from the Marxist-ori
ented groups, particularly George Habash’s
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Habash’s faction is the second-largest of the
eight groups comprising the PLO. Arafat’s
Fatah is the largest.
Sources close to the talks said that after two
days of haggling, it was clear no compromise
was possible.
Habash agreed to note his reservations but
bow to the majority and not create a major split.
Salah Khalaf, a top Arafat aide known as
ADU lyaa, saiu, never in my trued nave i seen
the Palestinian leadership acting as responsibly
as it is during this session. Unity is priority and
the minority is accepting the verdict of the
majority without any hard feelings.”
The 450-member Palestinian council began
meeting Saturday and is expected to conclude
on Tuesday with a declaration of independence
for the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
In ail previous meetings, the council has
explicitly rejected Resolution 242.
Those opposed to Resol ution 242objected to
its referring to (he future of Palestinians in the
occupied territories as “a just settlement of the
refugee problem.”
The Algiers conference was called to deal
with the new developments in the Middle East
and especially to take advantage of increased
attention and sympathy for the Palestinian
cause sparked by the uprising in the Israeli
occupied territories.
More than 310 Palestinians and 11 Israelis
have been killed in the 11-month uprising.
Besides a declaration of Palestinian inde
pendence and approval of a political program
that includes acceptance of Resolution 242, the
conference was expected to establish a provi
sional government.
PLO officials, including Abdul-Rahman,
have stressed that the provisional government,
when it is formed, would not be an alternative
to the PLO but an institution of the PLO man
dated to negotiate peace.
