Arab countries turned a blind eye to
‘Egypt’s.return, despite their realization
of the threats this return will bring
along, one can be assured that what
ruled che results of the summit was a
-game of-balance which necessitated that
each party in the summit give conces-
sions on one issue in return for the
summit to adopt their position in
another. Therefore, in return for
Egypt’s comeback to the Arab League,
there were positive resolutions concer-
ning' the Lebanese crisis.
THE PALESTINIAN
QUESTION
Almost 90% of the work paper in-
troduced by the Palestinian delegation
was approved by the summit. The con-
tent of this paper included the urging of
the summit to support the resolutions
of the last PNC session and the
Palestinian .peace initiative. The paper
called on the summit to support the
Ralestinian position in rejecting the
Shamir plan, and forming a coor-
dinating five-state committee (Egypt,
Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine)
to: prepare for the convening of the in-
‘ternational conference. The paper urg-
ed:the. Arab states to provide all forms
Of :political, moral and financial sup-
‘port to:the uprising, in addition to urg-
ing the international community to
shoulder its responsibilities towards
Israel’s crimes in the occupied ter-
ritories.
The summit adopted the majority of
the Palestinian paper and decided the
following: the continuation in pro-
viding all forms of support to the
Palestinian uprising and called on the
UN Security Council to shoulder its
responsibilities towards Israel’s crimes
committed in the occupied territories.
The summit also confirmed its support
to the Palestinian peace plan which is
based.on the Arab peace plan (approv-
ed.in Fez in 1982) and on international
legitimacy. The summit supported the
convening of an international peace
conference, and the formation of a
higher committee headed by King
Hasan II for the purpose of establishing
the needed international contacts on
behalf of the Arab League in order to
activate the peace process and to par-
ticipate in preparing for the interna-
tional conference.

HITT
President Bush had sent a message to
the Arab summit asking them to res-
pond positively to the plan and if not,
at least not to take a position against
it. Nonetheless, the summit decided to
«... support the Palestinian position in
regards to the elections issue which
should take place after the Israeli
withdrawal, in the presence of interna-
tional supervision, and within the
framework of a comprehensive peace
process.»
What is needed now is the actual
implementation of these resolutions in
order to avoid ‘the fate of the Algeria
summit resolutions.
LEBANESE CRISIS
Although Lebanon’s seat remained
vacant, the Lebanese crisis was an issue
of heated discussions in this summit.
The foreign ministerial meeting that
convened a day before the summit
however, did not discuss any solutions
but merely prepared a report concern-
ing the efforts of the six-state commit-
tee in order to be presented to the
summit. After the closed session, a
decision was taken to «form a commit-
tee composed of King Hasan II, King
Fahed of Saudi Arabia, and President
Shadli Ben Jadid of Algeria. The
committee will have full authority to
achieve the goals approved by the
summit... the committee will make
contacts and take the necessary
measures in order to create the proper
atmosphere for calling MP’s to discuss
thé political reforms document, to hold
presidential elections and to form the
national reconciliation government.
This process should be completed
within six months maximum.»
In the final statement the summit
stressed the necessity of the withdrawal
