The leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization is prepared to support the new Israeli peace initiative on certain conditions, according to “reliable intelligence sources” quoted by the daily newspaper Ha’aretz.

One condition is a prior commitment by the United States that the process will result in a permanent settlement, based on the “land for peace” formula and political rights for the Palestinians.

The PLO is also demanding international supervision of the Palestinian elections proposed by Israel for the West Bank and Gaza Strip and participation in them by the Arab residents of East Jerusalem.
