ALGIERS, Algeria — PLO leaders today drafted a
historic declaration to be presented to the group’s
parliament-in-exile that implicitly recognizes Israel’s
right to exist.
Several conference sources said they expected up to
85 percent of the 450 members of the Palestine National
Council to endorse the document.
The council’s political committee met behind closed
doors to debate the wording of another part of the
declaration, a commitment distancing the Palestine
Liberation Organization from terrorism, conference
sources said.
The source, who are on the drafting committee, said
they did not expect any differences over the draft, but
automatic citizenship to all Jews
and converts.

between Labor and Likud, the small

itburo, said: “We will voice reservations. Resolution
242 is inadequate and does not fullfil our aspirations for
an independent state. But we will not withdraw from
the conference if the majority votes for it. ”
PLO chief Yasser Arafat had hoped for a consensus
on Resolution 242 to avert further splits within his guer-
rilla movement and in the national council, which first
assembled in 1964.
The assurances that the Marxist front’s reservations
would not torpedo unity at this session appeared to
satisfy Arafat.
Salah Khalaf, known as Abu Iyad and a co-founder of
Arafat’s mainstream Fatah faction, said Sunday:
‘ ‘Unity is the priority and the minority is accepting the

endorsement, secured late Sunday,
was a promise to amend Israel’s
controversial ‘ ‘Who is a Jew” law so
Orthodox rabbis have exclusive
rights to approve conversions to
Judaism.
Most American Jews, who like
most Israelis are not Orthodox,
fiercely oppose the amendment.
President Chaim Herzog was ex-
pected to give Likud the go-ahead
today to form a new government
after meeting with leaders of the
hardline party and its left-leaning
rival, Labor. The two parties have
governed Israel since deadlocked
1984 elections, and inconclusive
Nov. 1 elections gave Likud 40 seats
in the 120-member parliament and
Labor 39.
But with its new ultra-Orthodox
partners, Likud and its allies on the
far right would control 63 seats in
parliament — two more seats than
required foramajority.-.
To woo the ultra-Orthodox:
and Agudat Israel parties into the
coalition, Shamir promised what
Labor and its staunchly secular
allies would not — the amendment
to Israel’s “Who is a Jew”, or Law
of Return, which guarantees

Return, and we hope now that we
can change it in a few weeks,” Por-
ush said.
Shamir promised leaders of the
Shas party that in three months the
new government will change the
law so it only recognizes con-

Jews in the United States and
elsewhere abroad have rallied to
fight the proposed changes, saying
the more liberal Reform and Con- J
servative movements to which a
majority of them belong are just as .
legitimate as Orthodox Jewry.
Likud also promised the Shas
party five key government posts,
including the Interior1 and Housing
ministries and the post of Deputy
Prime Minister. Agudat Israel was
promised deputy minister positions
