M041154 BAGHDAD INA IN ARABIC 1012 GMT 4 NOV 73 M
(TEXT) BEIRUT--THE LEBANESE NEWSPAPER AN- NAHAR REPORTS
TODAY THAT WASHINGTON'S EFFORTS REGARDING A SO-CALLED
PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST AREA ARE CONCENTRATED
ON THREE MAIN POINTS. BEFORE LISTING THEM, THE PAPER SAID
THE OVERALL GOAL BEHIND THESE POINTS IS THE FINAL,
DECISIVE NEUTRALIZATION OF EGYPT IN THE ARAB-ISRAELI
DISPUTE.
IN AN EXCLUSIVE DISPATCH ATTRIBUTED TO INFORMED U.S.
SOURCES IN WASHINGTON, THE PAPER SAYS THE FIRST POINT IS TO
EXERT PRESSURE ON ISRAEL TO MAKE IT ACCEPT THE PRINCIPLE OF
RESTORING EGYPT'S SOVEREIGNTY OVER MOST PARTS OF SINAI AND
THE TOTAL DEMILITARIZATION OF SINAI IN RETURN FOR GRANTING
ISRAEL THE RIGHT TO LAND (HUB UT) IN SHARM ASH-SHAYKH AND ALONG
'A LINE RUNNING PARALLEL TO THE GULF OF AQABA FROM ELAT.
THE PAPER SAYS THE SECOND POINT IS TO RETURN THE SYRIAN
LANDS WHICH THE ISRAELI FORCES OCCUPIED IN THE LAST WAR
TOGETHER WITH A PART OF THE GOLAN HEIGHTS.
THE PAPER SAYS THE THIRD POINT IS TO RETURN MOST SECTORS
OF. THE WEST BANK (OF JORDAN--FBIS) EXCEPT THOSE WHICH
ISRAEL HAS ANNEXED, TO DEMILITARIZE THE SECTORS THAT ARE TO BE
GIVEN BACK WHILE MAINTAINING THE ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS IN
HEBRON, THE WEST BANK HEIGHTS AND THE GAZA STRIP,
AND TO ESTABLISH A "SEMISTATE" IN THE WEST BANK AND
GAZA--WHICH IS WHAT KISSINGER IS SAID TO HAVE CALLED
JORDANIAN PALESTINE--WHILE CONTINUING ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION OF
THE CITY OF JERUSALEM AS IT IS NOW AND GIVING JORDAN, OR
THE SO-CALLED JORDANIAN PALESTINE, ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS
OVER THE RELIGIOUS PLACES IN THE CITY,
THE PAPER SAYS THESE MEASURES WILL LEAD TO ARAB
RECOGNITION OF THE ISRAELI ENTITY AS A STATE IN THE AREA.
