(IBRAHIM WAHBI COMMENTARY: "U. S. SECRETARY OF STATE KISSINGER'S
TOUR IN THE MIDDLE EAST AREA IN THE LIGH. OF THE RACE BETWEEN
PEACE AND WAR")
(TEXT) U. S. SECRETARY OF. STATE HENRY KISSINGER SAID,
AFTER TODAY'S MEETING WITH PRESIDENT ANWAR AS- SADAT, THAT WE ARE
MOVING QUICKLY TOWARD PEACE. THIS STATEMENT IN ITSELF IS
IMPORTANT. BUT THERE IS SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT, NAMELY
THAT THE MOVE TOWARD PEACE MUST FOLLOW THE MOVE TOWARD THE
RESUMPTION OF FIGHTING AND MUST OVERCOME IT.
WE MUST RECALL IN THIS INSTANCE THAT WE HAVE COME CLOSE TO
PEACE MANY TIMES BEFORE. BUT HIS PEACE WAS ALWAYS DESTROYED
BECAUSE OF ISRAELI ARROGANCE AND INTRANSIGENCE AND THE
FALSE FEELING OF THE ISRAELI MILITARY ORGANIZATION THAT IT IS
INVINCIBLE AND THAT THE EGYPTIAN FORCES COULD NOT CROSS THE CANAL.
ON THIS BASIS, ISRAEL MISLED THE WORLD AND WAS ABLE TO
CHALLENGE THE UN RESOLUTIONS AND CHARTER, REJECTING ALL
RESOLUTIONS AND SETTLEMENTS. IT OBSTRUCTED THE MOVES OF THE
UNITED STATES,, FORCED WILLIAM ROGERS TO ABANDON HIS PEACE
INITIATIVE AND EMPLOYED WORLD ZIONISM TO PRESS FOR GUARANTEES
OF CONTINUED U.S. MILITARY AID AND POLITICAL SUPPORT.
THEREFORE, WHENEVER PEACE CAME CLOSE IT WAS DESTROYED
BY THE ISRAELI ILLUSION THAT IT WAS I A POSITION OF STRENGTH,
ALLOWING IT TO IMPOSE ITS WILL ON THE AREA AND ON THE WORLD.
PERHAPS THE SITUATION HAS CHANGED; AS KISSINGER SAID: IT IS
MOVING TOWARD PEACE AFTER THE WORLD AND THE UNITED STATES LEARNED
THAT ISRAEL IS NO LONGER IN A POSITION OF STRENGTH..
THE EGYPTIAN FORCES HAVE CAUSED ISRAEL TO LOSE THIS POSITION.
AS THE WORLD HAS EXPOSED THE FALSEHOOD OF ISRAEL'S ALLEGATIONS ABOUT
THE ILLUSIONS IT HAD ATTRIBUTED TO ITSELF, Ir." .^:EL SHOULD HAVE
CONVINCED ITSELF THAT IT MUST RETURN WHAT IT H; TAKEN. WE THINK
PERHAPS -THE CHANGE IN THE MILITARY MAP ACHIEVED BY CUR P.F.ED FORCES
IN THE AREA IS THE BASIS FOR THE NEW POSITIVENESS IN THE U.S. P.OVE.
WE DO NOT RULE OUT AN IMPORTANT- FACTOR, WHICH WE MUST TAKE
INTO CONSIDERATION WHILE WE ARE WATCHING _ THE RACE BETWEEN
WAR AND PEACE. IT IS"TRUE THAT 'ISRAEL SUFFERED LOSSES IN THE
6 OCTOBER WAR WHICH-EXCEEDED ITS-ABILITY, AND THESE LOSSES ALMOST
PARALYZED ITS ACTIVITIES IN ALL' FIELDS; IT IS TRUE THAT THE
THEORY OF ISRAEL'S SECURITY ADVOCATED BY THE ISRAELI LEADERS HAS
BEEN DESTROYED AND COLLAPSED; IT IS TRUE THAT INTERNATIONAL
ISOLATION?WHETHER BY EUROPE, AFRICA OR ASIA--HAS TIGHTENED THE
SEIGE ON THE ISRAELIS; IT IS TRUE THAT THE ARABS HAVE COHERED MORE
AGAINST ANYONE WHO WISHED TO HELP THE ISRAELIS TO- CONTINUE
'
S CONTINUING THE
THEIR AGGRESSION; AND IT IS TRUE THAT ISRAEL
WAR WOULD BE NO MORE THAN RECKLESS DESPERATION.

HOWEVER, ISRAEL IS RULED BY A MILITARY ORGANIZATION WHICH THE
ISRAELIS NOW BLAME FOR ALL THEIR MATERIAL, MILITARY, POLITICAL
AND ECONOMIC LOSSES. THUS THE QUESTION FACING THE MILITARY
ORGANIZATION BECOMES ONE OF ITS CONTINUED EXISTENCE IN ISRAELI
POLITICAL LIFE. SINCE WE HAVE REACHED THIS POINT, WE HAVE THUS
REACHED A NEW CONCLUSION. WOULD THE OUTCOME FACING THIS MILITARY
ORGANIZATION--BEING COMPLELLED TO RETURN THE LAND IT
USURPED IN 1967, AND THE ENORMOUS LOSSES IT HAS INFLICTED ON
THE ISRAELIS--MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THIS MILITARY ORGANIZATION
TO HAVE A FUTURE EXISTENCE AT ALL? WE DO NOT THINK SO.
ON THE BASIS OF THIS CONCLUSION, WE DO NOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY
THAT THE ISRAELI MILITARY ORGANIZATION WILL CARRY OUT A NEW
ADVENTURE IN AN ATTEMPT TO IMPROVE ITS POSITION, EVEN IF AT THE
EXPENSE OF THE ISRAELIS AND THEIR INTERESTS. WHEN THIS ORGANIZATION
SAID "NO" TO WILLIAM ROGERS AND HIS INITIATIVE, THE ISRAELIS
PAID FOR THIS IN BLOOD, WOUNDED AND PRISONERS OF WAR TAKEN IN
THE THOUSANDS. IT HAS ALSO PLACED ITS ALLY IN A CRITICAL SITUATION,
IS THIS ORGANIZATION NOW READY TO SAY "NO" TO HENRY KISSINGER
AND HIS MOVES, AND TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES? WE
BELIEVE THE ISFALLI MILITARY ORGANIZATION HAS NOT REACHED THE
POINT OF SHOULDERING INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY. IT MAY SEEK TO
DRAG THE AREA INTO A WAR ONCE AGAIN, IN SPITE OF KISSINGER'S CLAIM
THAT WE ARE MOVING QUICKLY TOWARD PEACE. THE UNITED STATES
SHOULDERS AN INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY, ESPECIALLY SINCE INSRAEL'S
POSITION IS ENDANGERING PEACE AND SECURITY AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL
DETENTE.
