(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. ................ CKfiJF ‘fitfi“ttttitttttfi‘t‘fit‘ttt‘fi‘tifitfitt‘fi 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. Dry Bones 0 ans sears: same was.
