PLO Rejects Shamir’s Election Plan
The PLO today rejected Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir’s proposal to hold elections in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, saying it was a warmed-over version of the Camp David Accords.

Shamir unveiled his election ideas in Washington last week as a way of breaking a deadlock in Middle East peace efforts.
