Pro-Palestine party
NZPA-AP Tel Aviv A group of Israeli Arabs and Jews who advocate the creation of an independent Palestinian State announced yesterday a list of candidates for Parliament. Their election slate, called “the progressive list for peace,” is headed by Muhaammad Miary, a Palestinian lawyer who un-
til a month ago was forbidden to leave his home city of Haifa because he had met Palestine Liberation Organisation leaders in Geneva last year. The No. 2 spot is held by Major-General Matti Peled, a veteran Jewish peace activist and a former commander of the Israeli Air Force. The rest of the slate of
120 candidates is equally divided between Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel. The Arabs include Christians, Muslims, Palestinians, and Bedouin. “I would say that realistically we might win between two and four seats in the Knesset,” Israel’s 120-mem-ber Parliament, said Uri Avnery, the group’s chairman.
