THE BEST
AGREEMENT
ISRAEL COULD
GET

'HA'AREI‘Z'. (PJ) May 5, I994 —
Analysis by Ze'ev Schiff

The central questions

on the agenda following the

signing of the agreement in
Cairo are whether the
Palestinian administration
can fulfill its promises,
primarily with regard to the
prevention of terror, and
whether it will have sufficient
economic resources to support
the territories under its

it iliir-K‘ -|1‘.i> i

about one million people, most

income.

The agreement, with
all its various appendices, is
the best that Israel could have
achieved under the current
circumstances and pressures
of time. It also embodies an
attempt to correct a number
of distortions contained in the.
Document of Principles
reached in Oslo. This time,
the security appendix is
formulated in a more cautious
manner than was the case
with the Oslo agreement.
Still, this agreement also
contains obtuse points. The
interim agreements are
naturally vague, given the
fact that they are temporary.

Future disputes are
apparently inevitable -- but if
the Palestinian

administration manages to
prevent terror from within its
borders, it will be possible to
find a common language,
correct faults and progress to
the next stages.

The assessment, in
Israel is that. the Palestinian
side is still unprepared to
accept complete responsibility
for the territory. What is of
greater concern, however, is
the absence of any

..,»

 

coordination on important
Civil Administration matters.
For the Palestinians, the
acceptance of responsibility is
accompanied by fear and a
lack of experience. In
addition, the PLO is entering
the area at a time when its
coffers are empty. If the
Palestinian administration
does not succeed in raising
the funds necessary for its
daily existence, salaries and
rapid investment, many
Palestinians will certainly
claim that nothing has
changed. In any event, a drop
in the standard of living is
anticipated in the territories
being transferred to the
authority of the PLO. This is
Ibitl !.u M] tLiluZ ti llamas
and utllt I (it: p )Ili nt> m I an

 
 

The agreement allows
Israel to intervene militarily
in the event that there is a
severe Violation of the
agreement. The IDF
estimates that there will be
no such deterioration. The
security appendix enables the
[UP to protect the
communities of Gush Katif,
but preventing terrorism from
within the Gaza Strip will
depend more upon the
Palestinian administration.
Will its forces take effective
control of the territory? Will
they seek to act against those
perpetuating acts of
terrorism? Will they be
prepared to cooperate with
the Israeli security branches?
The security appendix
commits the PLO to cooperate
in various areas. The
Palestinians will apparently
be ready for cooperation in the
military sphere, but -- in
order to combat terror -- they
will have to also display a
willingness to cooperate in the
realm of intelligence. The
head of the GSS returned
yesterday from a visit to
Cairo, and it would seem that
this was one of the issues that
occupied his time there.

Possible points of
friction will exist mainly on
the roads, where there will be
joint patrols between the IDF
and the Palestinian police. If
these patrols operate without
incident, it will be a great
success, but a similar
experiment once conducted by
the PLO and the Lebanese
army failed after one month.
It is possible for Israel to
control both out-going and
in-coming traffic from/to the
Gaza Strip and Jericho area,
as well as between these two
areas. In the first stage,
traffic between the two areas
will be allowed on one route,
but traflic will later be
permitted on four routes.

Israel will do everything so
that the

    
 

 

“major“ u\'

 

dbei‘iioi” pass'near
population centers.

What will determine the
extent of success are not the
stipulations of the agreement
and the manner in which they
were formulated. The real test
will ultimately be on the
ground. Many in the defense
establishment have doubts in
this regard. But there are also
those who speculate that,
when the PLO manages to

assert control over the area, it

will do everything possible to
meet its commitments.
