Arab states •,t• ••ear hopeful of reconciliation
By NICOLAS B. TATRO
Associated Press Writer
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Arab states appear
hopeful that. the assassination of President'Anwar
Sadat will 'eventually pave the way for Egypt's
return to the Arab fold. But any reconciliation is
likely to be a long, slow process at best.

opposed Sadat's go-it-alone peacemaking with
Israel.
Radicals took to the streets in Libya, Syria and
Lebanon, firing guns in the air and dancing in the
streets, to celebrate what they hoped would be the
end of an era. But in the conservative, oil-rich
Persian Gulf region, there was a more measured
reaction.
"It is time we tried to win Egypt back to the
Arab camp," urged the daily Al Ittihad in the
United Arab Emirates. In the island nation of
Bahrain, where policy is closely linked to Saudi
Arabia, the Akhbar al Khaleej newspaper urged
Egypt to "fold that page with Israel and start
anew with your Arab brethren."
A prominent Arab journalist in Beirut, who
declined to be identified, suggested that Egypt
might be invited to attend the Arab summit in
Morocco next month.
"Sadat himself had become an obstable and
there never could have been a reconciliation as
long as he was alive. But the obstacle has been
removed," he said.
But a high-ranking Palestine Liberation Orga
nization official, who also declined to be named,
predicted there could be no patching-up of differ
ences with Egypt as long as the Egyptian-Israeli
peace treaty remained in force.

there is no way for Egypt to come back to the

Saudi Arabia and a number of other Arab states
remained officially silent, apparently adopting a
wait-andee attitude until many of the unre
solved questions were answered.
At the top of the list was whether the picked
successor, Sadat's protege and vice president
Hosni Mubarak, would be able to take firm contro
