Isareli Courts to Rule Soon on- the Fate of Lansky and Lipsky
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli
courts will be required to rule
shortly on the fate of two foreign
Jews whose alleged involvement
in crimes abroad will be weighed
against the-legal right of all Jews
to remain in the country.
The case of Meyer Lansky, re-
puted kingpin of organized crime
in the U.S., will be heard next
month by a five-man bench of the
Israel Supreme Court.
A Jerusalem district court may
be asked to rule on France's re-
quest for the extradition of Claude
Lipsky. a French Jewish financier
wanted in connection with a major
financial scandal in France.
Lipsky's case hinges on
whether the justice ministry de-
cides that there- are prima fade
grounds for his extradition.
France made a formal extradi-
tion request last fall after the
French parliament speedily rati-
fied a Franco-Israeli extradition
treaty that had been pigeon-hol-
ed for over a decade.

TEL AVIV (JTA)—A 29-year-old
Israeli Arab who one represented
Israeli Arab who once represented
naments was sentenced to life
imprisonment by a military tribu-
nal in Lydda for terrorist activi-
ties and armed infiltration into
Israel. Hamza Ibrahim Yunis, who
was born in Ara village in an Arab
area of central Israel, was cap-
tured with four other terrorists
last August when an Israeli naval
unit intercepted a motorboat carry-
ing large quantities of explosives
and bazookas.
His co-defendant, Abdul Nawia,
was sentenced to 25 years. Two
other terrorists captured with
them will be tried at a latter
date.
Yunis was once a member of the
Betar boxing team which often rep-
resented Israel abroad. In 1964 he
was involved in a street fight and
fled to the Gaza Strip where he
allegedly became a Hebrew tran-
slator for Egyptian intelligence,
joined a terrorist organization as
an instructor and was later made
head of a terrorist naval com-
mando unit.
According to the charges, the
motorboat Yunis commanded was
to have fired bazooka shells at
Nahariya, an Israeli coastal city.
