motions calling for greater educa-

and more representation from
Israel's Oriental communities on
official and institutional bodies.
The Knesset took the actions at
the close of debate on integration
problems. during which Premier
Levi Eshk , 1 reviewed government
activities aimed at reducing the
gap between ethnic groups in
Israel. He reported that 15 per cent
of students currently in institu-

were from Sephardic families,
while five years ago the proportion
was 5 per cent.
Eshkol called misleading figures
in a report that 20 per cent of im-

migrants from Britain last year re- ,

absorptive difficulties. He said
most of the individuals involved
had come not as immigrants, but
as tourists or temporary residents.
He said half of them had decided
to remain in Israel.
He also reported that most
