    Egypt has called for Israeli withdrawal from Arab East Jerusalem and for the creation of a Palestinian state in the occupied West Bank and Gaza strip. Egyptian Foreign Minister Kamal Hassan Ali said on November 29 an Israeli withdrawal from that part of Jerusalem would allow people there full freedom. Egyptian relations with Israel have been strained since the Israel in October following the massacre of Palestinian refugees allegedly by rightist Christian militia in Beirut. Mr. Ali met on November 29 with a Palestinian delegation led by Abdul Zaim, the personal envoy of Palestine Liberation Organisation (P.L.O.) chairman Yasser Arafat. The Egyptian briefed him on talks that the United States special envoy, Mr. Philip Habib, has been conducting throughout the Middle East of late. Mr. Ali later told newsmen these talks had shown that Egypt and the United States were two important countries in the bid to have the Israelis move out of Lebanon. Negotiations on this issues should be held soon, he said. Observers said Mr. Ali's comments on the Israeli presence in East Jerusalem showed how Egyptian policy had changed since the late President Anwar Sadat was leading the country. Mr. Sadat used to support the Israeli view that Jerusalem should remain unified under a joint Arab-Israeli council.
