five-point Middle East statement that was adopted Nov.
16 by the National
Conference of Catholic
Bishops meeting here. The
vote was 213-8. A previous
draft of the statement and a
subsequent amendment to it
called for a "state" for the
Palestinian Arabs but in the
final draft that went before
the Conference .as a whole
following discussion, "state"
was " replaced by "homeland" inthe.^ft^.;, . __,
The statement, the first by
the National Conference
since the Yom Kippur War,
called for a comrehensive
political solution in the Middle East. It called for: "The
rights of Israel to existence
as a sovereign statQ within
secured and recognized
boundaries; the rights of the
Palestinian Arabs to participate in negotiations affecting their; destiny, and to a
homeland of their own; and
just compensation should be
provided for all parties concerned, of whatever national
origin, deprived of home and
property by the three-
decades of conflict. On the
status of Jerusalem, the
s-tatement urged
"recognition of its unique religious significance . which
:'. should be preserved through
an international guarantee
of access to the holy places,
and through the preservation of a religiously pluralist
citizenry." It also said that
United Nations Resolution
242 should continue "as a
basis for a1 just settlement in
the region."
The statement also noted
that the Camp David accords have "limitations"
that "involve both the scope
and terms of the agreements." One form of limitation, it noted, "is evidenced
by the need to bring other
key actors in the Middle
East into the peace-making
process." In addition, "the
. question of Palestinian
sovereignty remains unresolved by the accords," and
calls for ''further1 'negotiations/,'     '
JERUSALEM (WNS) —
The Cabinet once again postponed a decision Nov. 19
after meeting for five hours
to discuss the latest developments in the peace treaty
talks with Egypt7 The
Cabinet is to continue its
deliberations. The main
issue is Egypt's latest, pro-
posals for ''linkage"
between a peace treaty and
the Camp David framework
covering autonomy for the
West Bank and Gaza Strip
and for a timetable for its
implementation.    Premier
Menachem Begin, addressing a closed meeting of
the Herut center in Tel Aviv
Nov. 19 reportedly, said he
would recommend approval
of the agreements based on
the Camp David summit,
including references to the
West Bank which is essentially the American
compromise proposal. But
Begin added that Israel
would not accept Egyptian
demands for a timetable for
implementing the summit

with the first anniversary of
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat's visit to Jerusalem. A
bomb exploded on the main
street of Jaffa, slightly injuring a man and a woman and
damaging nearby shops. A
possible tragedy was
averted in downtown Jerusalem when an explosive
charge was found wrapped
in an old carpet. It was removed and safely dismantled.

was bound from Shefach

Sea, for Tel Aviv via Jericho
and Jerusalem. It was filled
with standees at the time of
the attack. The roof of the
bus was demolished.
