A pro-Arab American group called the American Friends of the Middle East has been reportedly circulating a document among West Bank Arab leaders calling for the establishment of a Republic of Palestine in the Israel-occupied territories. But Arab notables have been wary of it and express no views on the future of the territories except to demand Israel’s withdrawal. There are two factions among West Bank Arabs, one of which advocates a separate Palestinian state and the other re-unification with Jordan.
