		As to East Jerusalem, Israel annexed it and, in 1993, closed it and cut it off from the rest of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, thus denying Palestinians the right of access to it.

		Some Arab sources portrayed the confederation proposal as a tactical maneuver to overcome Israeli arguments in the Washington talks that Israel is not an occupying force because the West Bank is not being claimed by a sovereign country.

		Palestinian sources in Jerusalem said some Palestinian leaders in the Israeli-occupied territories were surprised to hear of the contacts between Arafat and Hussein, and were disturbed by what they saw as an initiative that could undercut their efforts to establish the Palestinians as an independent, sovereign party separate from Jordan.
