[Text] Paris, Dec 10 (AFP)--The Middle East is in a condition of war, and no peace is
possible with Israel, Libyan leader Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhafi said in an interview with
Luxembourg Radio monitored here today. Speaking in Tripoli, Colonel al-Qadhdhafi said:
"Conditions reigning in the Middle East are those of war, and at the moment peace is
impossible with Israel."
He said Egyptian President Anwar as-Sadat's recent visit to Israel had created new
conditions of "capitulation."
Forcefully reaffirming the refusal front's standpoint, Colonel al-Qadhdhafi said
Mr as-Sadat's visit has automatically placed Egypt under an Arab boycott. He added:
"The rules of the Arab boycott will be applied on the economic plane, and on a military
level the principles are just as strong--if the Libyan Jamahiriyah is attacked it will
be obliged to defend itself and to break out of encirclement."
He said that "for the moment this involves Egypt alone, but it is clear that any other
Arab country which makes such contact with the enemy (Israel) will see the same rules
applied to itself." -,
The colonel said Libya's relations with France were good but risked turning bad if
France intervened in Africa. He said he feared that France "will get itself into a
quagmire it can't get out of."
He confirmed that French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing had recently written to him
asking for help in the issue of POLISARIO forces holding French nationals hostage in
the desert, and said Libya would do its best to help. But he said he would prefer it if
the French Government and certain French companies did not get involved by sending French
nationals--military or civilian--into dangerous zones.
He added: "Africa will not be stablised until colonialism on the continent is ended."
