of some Israeli leaders that a hab-
it may develop in Israel of em-
ploying Arabs at menial jobs at
wages lower than the prevailing

is being restored and enlarged to
handle some general cargo. An in-
dustrial center is being built at
Belt Hanum near the old Israeli
border, and unemployment has
been drastically reduced by allow-
ing Gaza Arabs to work freely in
Israel and on the West Bank.
