Jerusalem Debate at Security Council Stalled?
UNITED NATIONS (JTA) —A
move by Jordan to request a Secu-
rity Council meeting on Israeli
practices in East Jerusalem came
to a halt Wednesday, according
to informed sources.
A decision reportedly was
reached in Amman not to call for
such a meeting until after a sum-
mit conference of Arab states that
starts Friday.
The reason for this decision,
sources noted, is the present dis-
unity among Arab states and the
lukewarm response to such a
meeting on the part of the United
States and the Soviet Union.
At the same time, there were
indications that Egypt intends to
call for a full debate on the Mid-
dle East situation at the General
Assembly which begins its fall
session Sept. 21.
There were hints that if there
was a Security Council debate,
Egypt would move to include the
Sinai, Golan Heights and the Gaza
Strip. This, however, would place
Egypt in the .position of having to
take a stand on a possible move
by Syria • to reword Security Coun-
cil Resolution 242.
At this point, Egypt main-
tains that she accepts the pres-
ent resolution wording. Egypt
also fears that any move to re-
word the resolution that would
produce an evident anti-Israeli
stance would imperil any chance
of reopening the Suez Canal.
Syria has not accepted Resolu-
tion 242.
The moods of other major pow-
ers toward a Security Council de-
bate have also undergone modifica-
tions, according to reliable
sources. The U.S., which indicated
last week that it would not actively
seek to block such a meeting and
appeared willing to join forces
with Jordan to keep such a meet-
ing within the limits of discussing
East Jerusalem, has reportedly
cooled to such a debate. The Soviet
Union appears to be unhappy over
.he prospects of such a debate
because she fears that any U.S.-
JorCanian cooperation might limit

of the Egyptian stand at the
General Assembly. These deci-
sions must still be approved,
however. by President Georges
Pompidou.
The sources said that, in the
Security Council, France's posi-
tion will be relatively easy: it will
align itself with the American
stand which has a strong basis
since the Security Council has al-
ready unanimously adopted a
resolution on Jerusalem, sources
said.
Bennett Levine, a JDL coordina-
tor, told some 300 East Flatbush
residents attending a meeting at
Congregation Rishon - LeZion Syna-
gogue that the JDL will conduct
"legal and unarmed patrols" to
keep the peace in the area.
Bennett denied that JDL was
a vigilante group and affirmed
that it "was just out to protect
the people." The police retorted
that coverage of East Flatbush
had indeed been increased, but a
JDL spokesman confirmed that
the arming of residents with .22-
caliber rifles would proceed as I
planned.
(In Washington, the attorney
for three New York JDL mem-1
bers charged with demonstrating
illegally on June 25 in front of
the Soviet embassy appealed for
"legal-d e f e n s e funds." Harvey
Rosenberg told the JTA that the
funds were needed "not for at-
torney's fees — I'm not asking
for any," but for court costs, a
transcript of last week's trial
proceedings, and travel expenses.
The three JDL'ers are accused
of demonstrating within 500 feet
of the embassy in violation of the
District of Columbia law. Rosen-
berg said the law applies to
political, economic and social ac-
tions, but not to "religious ac-
tions." The demonstration was on
behalf of Soviet Jewry.)
