Mr. Director of the ⟦Countries⟧ ⟦Division⟧, Respected
Subject: Information
1- It was confirmed at our station in Cairo that there is an intention to deliberate on the formation of a temporary Palestinian government based in Cairo.
2- The station reported that there is indeed an intention to form a temporary Palestinian government in Cairo, although some Egyptian officials have raised this publicly and unofficially to test the waters. However, the issue does not seem to have gained traction during this stage for the following reasons:
A- The Palestine Liberation Organization is not fully willing to do so, especially after the rejection of the idea of recognizing Israel and other matters.
B- The Egyptian authorities are accelerating the arrangements for Arafat's visit to Egypt, which provokes reactions due to Egypt's positions toward Israel and Camp David.
C- Arafat hopes, through his visit to Egypt, to obtain Arab support, endorsement, and recognition of the PLO, but this did not happen, which caused the Egyptian role to be downplayed.
D- The desire to create a link between the PLO and an initiative to support Egypt's round by forming a confederation between the Palestinians and Jordan.
3- Al-Thawra newspaper published on 10/19/1980 news stating (Arafat will visit Egypt in early September, according to a statement by Mr. Khaled Mohieddin, Secretary General of the National Progressive Unionist Party) and that the visit will come after the completion of the agreement to choose Cairo as a venue for a meeting held by the Arab People's Organization.
4- A margin note from the Respected Director of the Division: there is a coordination committee between the Cairo, Amman, and Beirut stations to follow up on Arafat's visit to Cairo.
5- The Beirut station reported that there are intensive contacts between Arafat and Mubarak via Hakim, based on the success of the organization in the Palestinian National Council before the sixteenth session in Algeria. There are some for the visit of Arafat and Mubarak when the value of 12,000 liras spread in Damascus and Abu Nidal's speech in the meeting, but in Beirut nothing happened and secretly departed between Osama bin Laden and Abu Jihad, and it was rumored that the mission received an oral message from Mubarak to Arafat stating that the PLO must open the way for [a scenario] that would result in the future that it tends to give Jordan over the Reagan project because the figures for this new arrangement show that time did not ⟦...⟧

Your letter Sh/13/866 on 12/25/1982
Before the last session of the Palestinian National Council in Algeria,
intensive contacts took place between Yasser Arafat and Hosni Mubarak through representatives belonging to the
independents' wing in the Palestinian National Council, but in reality they belong to Arafat's board of advisors.
The visit of Dr. (Al-Khalidi) to Cairo was an announcement that a potential meeting
would take place between Arafat and Hosni Mubarak during the Non-Aligned Summit in Delhi, but the resolutions
issued by the Palestinian National Council and the rapid adverse reactions faced
by the Egyptian media aborted that meeting, knowing that a second aspect of this
meeting actually took place in New Delhi secretly between Osama Al-Baz and Abu Jihad Khalil Al-Wazir,
where it was rumored that Al-Baz conveyed a verbal message from Hosni Mubarak to Yasser Arafat stating that
the PLO must grant King Hussein a mandate to speak on its behalf now and before time runs out
on the Reagan plan, because the Americans informed the Egyptian President that time is no longer working in favor of
the Arabs and that America cannot stop the process of Judaizing the West Bank and building settlements unless
King Hussein steps forward now as a negotiator on the basis of the Reagan project ⟦line⟧

We have learned from a single source with a good level of reliability the following:
1 - The Egyptian President requested the editors-in-chief of Egyptian newspapers to publish news
of any future meetings held with the Palestinians and not to implement the non-publication decision which
the Palestinian leadership had requested in previous contacts.
2 - President Mubarak pledged to inform the newspapers of any inquiries revolving around these
contacts to present them to public opinion.
3 - Publishing Libya's contacts with the Egyptian leadership, and the reason for this is due to what
Libya and the Palestine Liberation Organization did regarding their meetings with Egyptian officials
behind the scenes and distorting the conversations during the meetings.

Subject/ Egyptian-Palestinian Relations
Part of the information from our interest in Cairo, which includes the following:-
1. The Egyptian position towards the Palestinian cause is that it supports any Palestinian movement that sees the necessity of the position in
the Middle East, even if that constitutes a departure from the Camp David Treaty, as it has not led to the handover of some
Arab lands for a comprehensive settlement in the region with Egypt's participation.
2. Egypt fears the establishment of a Palestinian government-in-exile based in Cairo, provided it adheres to the
Camp David Treaty and provided that the role of this government is political rather than military, as was the case in
past ⟦years⟧ when there was contact with the Organization. However, during Mubarak's era, Egypt expressed
this desire through some contacts with the leadership of the Organization, and the Organization asked Egypt
to ⟦wait⟧ in such a temporary situation for this step, and this is what Mubarak hinted at
during his recent visit to Washington.
3. Cairo viewed that Palestinian recognition of Israel might have a better impact on United Nations resolutions
and human rights organizations that operate, not in exchange for this recognition of Israel
⟦...⟧ the American side. If the Egyptian response, after questioning the American side ⟦...⟧
⟦...⟧ this recognition is mutual recognition, as American recognition of the Organization will generate a positive
confrontation regarding the cause.
4. America will send a special envoy to Jordan to negotiate directly with the Organization regarding this recognition, and that

5. America asked Egypt to intensify its efforts to extract this recognition from the Organization for Israel, regardless of

Subject / - Egyptian-Palestinian Relations
It seems that the Egyptian position towards the Palestinian cause has become with ⟦any⟧
Palestinian movement during the reconciliation efforts in the Middle East, even if there was in
that a departure from the Camp David treaty; the important thing is that some
Arab parties join a comprehensive settlement in the region provided that
this is done with Egyptian participation.. It is noted that Egypt hopes to establish
a Palestinian government-in-exile based in Cairo, provided that it respects the Camp David
treaty and provided that the role of this government is purely political before it is
military. This was Egypt's position since the Sadat era, which sufficed
with announcing it without there being contact with the PLO. And
Egypt, during the Mubarak era, expressed this desire through some contacts
with the leadership of the Organization, and the Organization asked Egypt to find out the American reaction
in the event of taking such a step, and this is what Mubarak proposed
during his recent visit to Washington.
Love shows
in his eyes, or?
⟦illegible⟧
⟦illegible⟧
In later periods, Egypt believed that Palestinian recognition of Israel
might have a better ⟦impact⟧ than a decision to establish a government-in-exile, and when
the PLO asked about the compensation it would receive for this recognition from
the Israeli side first and from the United States side second, the
Egyptian response was to ask the American side that Israel will not hesitate to
Page 110
- 2 -
this recognition with a similar and mutual recognition and that America also did not recognize
the Palestine Liberation Organization and that all America will do is that recognition of the organization
will be gradual and positive for Palestine and that America on the other hand
will send a special envoy to Tunisia to negotiate with the organization after
this recognition directly, in order to conduct the first direct contact between
America and the organization.
America has requested Egypt to focus its efforts during this period on
the recognition of Israel by the organization, regardless of the Israeli position on
this recognition, and that this matter seems important in establishing a Palestinian government
in exile.
After the meeting of the Palestinian National Council in Damascus and under pressure from pro-Syrian
elements, the council took its decision that it is not in favor of contact with Egypt at the present time and that the problem
has a religious aspect in this period and that there must be a unified Palestinian position
before these contacts take place intensively.
It is worth mentioning that the Liberation Organization requested Egypt to have an office in El Arish,
which is a completely Egyptian area, but in the event of establishing a government in exile, Egypt refused
this request without even discussing it because of the dangers that could result
from it in the event of its approval ⟦line⟧

Now, the issue of recognition and movement in the peace process has addressed
introducing some other elements in the Kuwaiti response to the issue of establishing
a Palestinian government-in-exile. Cairo's vision is that the issue of establishing
a Palestinian government-in-exile does not seem to be happening through a type of coordination
with Jordan, and that it is being done and now

Subject / Arafat's visit to Cairo
1. We have previously sent a letter to the Amman, Beirut, and Amman stations to follow up
on news that Arafat will pay a visit to Cairo in early February of this month.
2. The Cairo station replied with the following:-
A. Arafat's visit to Cairo has been confirmed.
B. There is a dispute over the date of the visit, as Mubarak wants the
visit to be before his tour of Europe and the United States to learn about the viewpoint,
while Arafat wants the visit to be after Mubarak's tour to learn about the results
of Hussein's visit.
C. We believe ⟦that⟧ the visit will be during the fourth month, as a conference
for the leaders of the Palestinian organizations will be held, called for by the Egyptian opposition, and an official invitation
will be sent to Yasser Arafat.
For your kind review, and we will provide you with the information from the Beirut and ⟦illegible⟧ stations, with appreciation.

We believe that Arafat's visit will be during the fourth month

Subject: The Egyptian-Palestinian-Arab Relationship
Information received from the Kuwait station includes the following:
1- The Palestine Liberation Organization intensified its contacts with Egypt during the past month to benefit from Egypt's position in the world,
especially America and Europe. The organization sent several envoys to Egypt, including Sabri al-Dajani and Abu al-Zaim, and several sessions were held
with the Egyptian leadership. The organization informed Egypt of its rejection of its proposal and Osman's proposal regarding the recognition of Israel and informed Egypt
also that it had not taken powerful steps against Israel, which made Egypt's position weak toward Lebanon and the failure to abandon Camp David.
2- Arafat's visit to Egypt will not take place if Egypt does not take a new position that satisfies the Arabs, which made the organization not agree to the American
proposal, which stipulates recognizing Israel and then the official US-Palestinian dialogue, and that the organization submitted proposals that serve its interests.
3- The organization informed Egypt of the results of its contacts with the Jordanian leadership in order to develop the relationship between the Palestinian
and Jordanian peoples to reach a confederal unity, and the organization proposed to Egypt that it pressure America to accept dialogue with
a unified Arab delegation that includes a representative from the Palestinian organization.
4- Egypt was informed by the Resistance that the decisions of the Palestinian Central Council held in Damascus were
a victory for Yasser Arafat despite the false news from the Syrian leadership. Through the Council, twenty members were formed
to study a formula emphasizing the necessity for Egypt's return to the Arab fold.
5- Information indicates that Mubarak is doing serious work to satisfy the Arabs away from the Camp David agreement, which makes him not
cancel it for fear of an Israeli move, but he will try to remove the leadership that participated in securing the 1978 agreement.
What indicates an Egyptian-Arab rapprochement is the large number of visits by delegations to Egypt, including the Jordanian religious delegation,
the Iraqi military delegation, and the UAE delegation.
Please kindly review the information and your order to refer a copy of the letter to the Office of the Presidency of the Republic.

About Egyptian-Palestinian and Jordanian relations
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) intensified its contacts with Egypt during the past month in
an attempt to benefit from Egypt's position in the world, especially America and Europe. The
organization sent several envoys to Egypt, including Dr. Subhi al-Dajani and Abu al-Za'im
and held several sessions with the Egyptian leadership. Abu al-Za'im moved between Egypt and Jordan.
The organization informed Egypt of its rejection of its proposal and ⟦Mitterrand's⟧ proposal regarding
recognizing Israel. Egypt was informed that it had not taken steps
regarding the ⟦principle⟧ of Israel, as Egypt's position was weak towards
the organization and has not changed after Camp David. Arafat's visit
to Egypt did not materialize because Egypt did not take a new position that satisfies Jordan.
On the other hand, the Palestinian organization did not agree to the American proposal regarding
recognizing Israel and then consulting on the official establishment of a Palestinian entity, and
the organization stipulates five ⟦points⟧ of orientations.
The organization informed Egypt of the results of its contacts with the Jordanian leadership in
order to develop relations between the Palestinian and Jordanian people to reach
a confederal unity. Therefore, the organization suggested to Egypt that
it pressure America to accept a ⟦joint delegation⟧, a unified Arab delegation that includes a representative
of the Palestinian organization.
The Resistance also informed Egypt that the decisions of the Palestinian Central Council
which was held in Damascus were a signal to Yasser Arafat despite the atmosphere
that the Syrian leadership dominated, and that this council decided
to form a special committee called the ⟦Committee⟧ of the Program in order to develop a strategy for future
Palestinian action, and concerning this council, the necessity of Qaddoumi's return to Cairo.
Page 118
On the other hand, information indicates that he has begun to seriously study
everything that links him to the Arabs, away from the Camp David Accords
However, he cannot break free for fear of an Israeli move, but he will try
to remove the elements who participated in securing the agreement in 1978
What indicates an Egyptian-Arab rapprochement is the large number of Arab delegations
to Egypt, including the Yemeni delegation, the Omani delegation, the Moroccan delegation, and the organization's foreign minister

2- Our opinion was that the Egyptian situation does not help in establishing this government for several reasons.
3- The Palestine Liberation Organization is not completely satisfied with Egypt, especially the reactions toward the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the models of the camps, and its decisions were not at the level of responsibility in the Organization's view.
C - The Egyptian authorities leaked news of the imminent visit of Arafat to Egypt, which is not possible at all due to Egypt's positions toward Israel and Camp David.
D - Egypt was hoping that during Arafat's last visit, Egypt would obtain support, endorsement, and recognition from the Liberation Organization, but this did not happen, which reduced the Egyptian role in this regard.
E - The messages exchanged between King Hussein and Mubarak regarding supporting Egypt and forming a confederation between the Palestinians and Jordan.

Our source (726) informed us, quoting some sources from the Palestine Liberation Army,
that Abu Iyad's hawks in Cairo had statements with the names of a group
of Palestinian fedayeen estimated at fifty fedayeen who crossed the
Egyptian-Israeli border via Sinai and surrendered themselves to
the Egyptian authorities after the Israeli authorities discovered the dens
in which they work - Abu Iyad delivered a message from Arafat to the Egyptian
President in which he requests protection for these fedayeen and not to hand them over to Israel,
which actually issued a request to Egypt asking for the return of these fedayeen.
Egypt did not respond to this request, which led to an increase in the dispute between the two parties.
The source also mentions that the Egyptian authorities at Cairo Airport
are detaining a number of Palestinian fedayeen (official special trips)
who left Lebanon and were distributed in a number of Arab countries,
and do not allow many of them to enter Egypt, and if they are allowed, the authorities
detain them at the airport -
