Chancellor Bruno Kreisky said Tuesday that Austria may present a resolution to the UN General Assembly which reportedly calls for direct negotiations between all parties to the Middle East dispute, including Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization as the representative of the Palestinian people.

The resolution was reputedly inspired by several Arab countries.
