Against that backdrop of rancor and mistrust, Yasser Arafat's fer- vent plea to revoke calls for Israel's destruction from the Palestinian charter stood out in sharp relief. and perhaps surprising "We want to start a new era with good relations between us and the Israelis." Arafat told the opening session of the Palestinian in Gaza City parliament-in-exil- one-liners- ." mm t e on Monday night. "We call upon you to change or amend the articles in the charter that contradict the peace process." he told the Palestine National Council. Under the terms of the latest agreement, the council must amend or revoke the charter by May 7. Arafat appears determined to keep his pledge, hoping it will move up the timetable for Israel's pullout from Hebron and other peacemaking steps. Israel's military campaign in Lebanon and the crippling blockade imposed on the West Bank and Gaza in response to deadly suicide bombings by Palestinian militants will make it more difficult for Arafat to muster the required two-thirmajority in the council.

Khalil Shikaki. director of the independent Center for Palestinian Research and Studies in Nablus. said there should be no problem which revoking the old charter is largely outdated and irrelevant. Much ot it including the clauses calling for Israel's destruction have been superseded by later, more conciliatory statements. But council members could balk at so obviously bowing to a political demand by Israel, he said.
