accords, |.e., ‘autonomy’, are seenin the
moves of the previous US consul and
the new one, Morris Draper, former aid
of Murphy, and their emphasis on the
municipal councils and the appoint-
ments, and their meetings with the con-
cerned Palestinian figures. This is a seri-
ous attempt by the US administration to
create the elements for ‘civil’ administra-
tion. There is also the Israeli talk about
implementing self-administration unilat-
erally. The appointments in Nablus, in
addition to all this, are part of an ongoing
attempt to create compliant teams in all
the councils.
It is not important to talk about who
will run the councils, the chamber of
commerce or the mixed committees, as
there are no fundamental differences
between them. The idea of forming
mixed committees is put forward as a
pressure. As for those willing to cooper-
ate with both the Jordanians and the
Israelis, they were always present. The
open bridges helped establish such ele-
ments in the councils and other institu-
tions. There is also an attempt being
made now to revive the Village Leagues
which expressed support to the king with
Israeli blessings. Several Jordanian
delegations visited the West Bank with
permission from the Israeli authorities
who have always worked to strengthen
pro-Jordanian elements. There were
several cases of Israeli officials appoint-
ing such elements to very important
posts.
As a matter of fact, | cannot see the
move of these joint elements as a qual-
itative change, inspite of their increasing
prominance. Such a tendency has
always been present, especially after
the Amman accord. The policy of
administrative detention, expulsion and
the iron fist are in line with the Israeli
occupation's attempts to weaken the
nationalist forces by the detention of
union leaders and other nationalists @
