Israel's
Cabinet discussed Sunday, at its
weekly meeting, the Soviet govern-

ported to the Cabinet about
evelopments in Moscow, the
government discussed concrete
steps for a reply to Moscow to
what circles here called "a Soviet
provocation which breaks normal
conventions covering diplomatic re-
lations between civilized nations.'!
notice of Gavish's expulsion was
received "with deep regret and
great surprise." The ministry was
very clear on the point that the
government rejects the Soviet
charge against Gavish.

several reasons for the Soviet gov-
ernment's action against Gavish.

- ceding the High Holy Days, the
Soviet government or press have
found occasions to smear Israel as
an offset to the pro-religious senti-
ts being stirred at that time

additional motivation seen

that the Soviet Union is eager to
salve Syria's feelings. Syria failed
in the United Nations Security
Council a week and a half ago to
get a condemnation motion passed
against Israel in connection with
