PLO Reports Meeting With Israelis in Tunis
Senior members of the Palestine Liberation Organization met in Hungary on Wednesday with Israelis defying Israeli law by taking part in the talks, the PLO said.
Salah Khalaf, a senior aide to PLO chief Yasser Arafat, told reporters the talks began with a preliminary session of delegation leaders and that a full-scale meeting is to follow today.
About 20 Israeli leftists, headed by Communist parliamentary deputy Charlie Bitton, are in Budapest for the talks. The five-man PLO delegation includes two members of the PLO executive committee, Mahmoud Abbas, known as Abu Mazen, and Abderrazak Yahia.
