racist violence against Palestinians was
followed by a massive arrest campaign
in scores of Palestinian cities, villages
and camps throughout the occupied
territories, in addition to the imposi-
tion of curfews on many localities.
UNL positions
The United National Leadership
of the intifada(UNL) expressed its
deep concern after the formation of
the new Israeli government. [n its call
no. 59, issued July ist, the UNL
declared that: «The intifada has now
entered one of its most critical and
dangerous stages...A stage in which
the enemy has unveiled its true fascist
and racist face.» The call urged the
Palestinian masses not to be daunted:
«Israeli extremism, the escalation of
repression and their adamant refusal to
make peace should not lead us to think
that we have reached a dead-end. It
should enhance our confidence in the
correctness and effectiveness of the
intifada.»
In call no. 60, issued July 30th,
the UNL lauded the stand of the Euro-
pean Community and their continued
economic cooperation with the Palesti-
nian people, as well as the decision to
send a permanent observer to the
occupied territories. The European
Parliament passed a resolution in mid-
June, condemning Israeli repression in
the occupied territories, and calling for
an international inquiry into the abuses
of Palestinian human nights. In addi-
tion, the heads of EC governments
meeting in Dublin passed another
resolution, calling for the protection of
Palestinians, and an end to Israeli set-
4
tlement of the 1967 occupied ter-
ritories, including East Jerusalem.
Also in call no. 60, the UNL
denounced the US position and «its
total bias towards Israel which was
rewarded with the unilateral suspen-
sion of the US-PLO dialogue.» The
UNL, for the first time since the
beginning of the intifada, condemned
the Egyptian regime outright, calling it
a puppet of the US administration.
Mubarak was accused of attempting to
institute the Camp David accords
throughout the area.
Also on the international scene,
Israel’s ambassador to Spain, Shlomo
Ben Gali, reported that relations bet-
ween Israel and most of the European
countries are deteriorating. Ben Gali
added that in the case of those coun-
tries with which Israel enjoys very
close relationships, like West Ger-
many, Holland and Denmark, a
change in popular opinion is taking
place in favor of self-determination for
Palestinians, and the need for includ-
ing the PLO in the peace pro-
cess(Haaretz, June 8th).
In the aftermath of the US milit-
ary intervention in the Middle East,
Palestinians, like the masses through-
out the Arab world, demonstrated
against the US’s aggression and bully-
ing of Iraq. Demonstrations took place
throughout the West Bank, Gaza Strip
and Golan Heights, while fear of an
Israeli attack against Jordan was preva-
lent. Such an attack would facilitate
the expulsion of hundreds of thousands
of Palestinians, an act which would be
in line with the strategy of the new
Israeli government.
