Israel Rejects Reagan Plan For Palestinians’ Self-Rule; Terms It ‘A Serious Danger’
The Israeli Cabinet voted unanimously today to reject President Reagan’s plan for Palestinian self-rule in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, asserting that the American proposals would lead to a Palestinian state and ”could create a serious danger” to Israel’s security.
Despite Mr. Reagan’s appeal for a freeze on Jewish settlement in the [Palestinian] territories, the [Israeli] Cabinet decided to continue a vigorous program of establishing a Jewish population there to consolidate Israel’s hold on the areas.
“We shall continue to establish settlements in accordance with our natural right.'”
