Israelis warn U S switch on PLO could imperil peace pact
Israeli leaders warned that U S moves to modify UN Security Council Resolution 242 to favor Palestinian autonomy could derail the Egyptian Israeli peace treaty. Interior Minister Yosef Burg told Egypt and the United States the change could affect ongoing negotiations. An Israeli spokesman stressed there would be no acceptance of altering 242 under any circumstances. The US has been courting Palestinian support to the peace accord and discussed potential language on a Palestinian homeland.
