JERUSALEM (JTA)—The former mayor of East Jerusalem has
been expelled to Jordan on charges of provocation, illegal dealings and
attempts to organize Arab resistance to Israel authority, the defense
ministry announced.
The ministry said that Rouhi el Khatib was the man behind the
Arab teachers' strike last year and that he agitated among East
Jerusalem merchants to keep their shops closed after the reunification
of Jerusalem last June. According to the defense ministry, Khatib
maintained contact with Jordanian authorities in Amman and served
as a pipeline for the illegal transfer of funds. He was also charged
with spreading false reports of Israeli mistreatment of East
Jerusalem residents.
evidence, submitted by Ambas-
sador Yosef Tekoah, Israel's per-
manent representative to t h e
United Nations, was accompanied
by a letter challenging Jordan's
right to complain about Israel's
efforts to clear uninhabitable slums
in the area and erect modern
housing for Jews and Arabs alike.
Ambassador Tekoah's presenta-
tion was in direct reply to letters
and documents submitted by Mu-
hammed H. El-Farra, permanent
representative of Jordan, to the
secreary general on Feb. 23 and
Feb. 28. The Jordanians charged
that Israel was destroying the
character of "Arab Jerusalem"
and was sullying Moslem holy
places by its clearing operations
and archaeological excavations in
the vicinity of the West Wall.
