Premier Rabin Warns: Israel Watches Egypt's Suez Actions
(Continued from Page 1)
Malta, said the Palestinians
should not be ignored. Rabin
replied that no one wants to
ignore the 'Palestinians but
the key factor in achieving
peace in the Middle East
was Egypt.
Rabin indicated here that
his country is prepared to
make territorial compromises
for the sake of peace in the
Middle East, but warned
that compromise must be re-
ciprocal and observed that
negotiations between Israel
and its Arab neighbors will
not have any meaning unless
and until they are conducted
on a bilateral basis.
"A piece of peace for a
piece of territory would be
a handy formula," he told a
bipartisan group of Biitish
members of Parliament at a
meeting in his hotel suite.
Peace will not come, he said,
until the Arabs are recon-
ciled to Israel's existence.
Rabin told the .MPs that
while a final peace settle-
ment is still far off, Israel is
ready to negotiate the next
step "so that we may come
a little closer to peace." He
said Israel will be watching
to see whether Egypt opens
the Suez Canal to Israeli
ships and whether Syria and
Egypt begin working on "re-
construction" rather than
preparing for another war.
Rabin said the next step
would be between Israel and
Egypt since Egypt is the key
to peace in the Middle East,
but any Israeli concessions
must be reciprocated.
The Premier said the rea-
son for the increase in ter-
rorist activities since the dis-
engagement agreements have
been signed is that "someone
is interested to put pressure
on us. I would not exclude
the Soviet Union."

Bronx Chief Says He Lost Party
Backing Due to His Religion
NEW Y 0 R K — Borough
President Robert Abrams of
the Bronx charged that the
Democratic State Committee
had denied him its designa-
tion for attorney general
"primarily" because he is
Jewish.
Abrams said the rejection
was a result of an effort by
some Democratic leaders to
get a statewide ticket bal-
anced ethnically and by re-
ligion. He called the tactic
"irresponsible, inflammatory,
discriminatory and histori-
cally discredited."
Abrams' attack on the
practice within his own party
conflicts with the endorse-
ment of the practice earlier
by Howard J. Samuels, the
party's gubernatorial desig-
nee, who also is Jewish.
He also termed as "irre-
sponsible" a statement by
Matthew J. Troy Jr., the
Queens Democratic leader,
made on a recent television
interview.
According to the New York
Times, Troy said he was
concerned about the possi-
bility of the party's candi-
date for governor being
"saddled" with a ticket that
was predoinintntly Jewish or
Irish or "predominantly any
one race." He noted that be-
cause of primary fights the
Democrats "could end up
with five of the seven candi-
dates being Jewish" and

said that that would be a
disaster.
Answering the charges by
Abrams, Troy added "To
even suggest I am anti a
Jewish candidate is ludi-
crous, since I am supporting
Howard Samuels for gover-
nor."
The Anti-D e f a m a t i o n
Le a g u e, in response to
Abrams' charge against his
party declared that "we de-
plore the selection of candi-
dates on any basis other than
their individual merit and
qualifications."
Abrams, in a letter to the
ADL, had asked the agency
to take a stand in assuring
that "considerations of ethnic
background or religious af-
filiation are not permitted to
dominate the process of
selecting candidates for elec-
tive public office."
Responding for the ADL,
Seymour D. Reich, chairman
of ADL's New York board,
wrote that "any political
organization which makes its
choices of candidates upon a
racial, religious or ethnic
basis should be condemned
as violating a fundamental
concept in the American elec-
tion process."
Report on Dutch
Nazi Aide Is Due
AMSTERDAM (JTA) —A
1,000-page report on the ac-
tivities of the Dutch Nazi
collaborator Friedrich Wein-
reb during the occupation of
the Netherlands is nearing
completion and should be
published this year, it was
announced here.
Based on eye-witness ac-
counts, some by persons still
living, and compiled by the
Netherlands State Institute
of War Documentation, the
extensive report also will in-
clude interviews with Wein-
reb himself, ' who currently
lives in Switzerland.
In 1948, Weinreb was sen-
tenced to six years imprison-
ment for collaboration with
the Germans. The report
showed that he had been re-
sponsible for many deporta-
tions while pretending to be
a protector of Dutch Jews.
raised "serious questions"
for Israel about Egypt's• in-
tention to move toward "a
new relationship of peace
and understanding" with Is-
rael, Yosef Tekoah, Israel's
Ambassador to the United
Nations, said here.
Emerging from a one-hour
meeting with UN Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim, Te-
koah told newsmen he had
also expressed formally his
surprise and dismay about
Dr. Waldheim's disclosure
he had met with Palestinian
representatives in •Khartoum,
in the Sudan. Tekoah listed
the terrorists Waldheim met
as Zuhayr Muhsin, comman-
der of El-Saiqa in Lebanon,
the group that called the
Kiryat Shemona massacre
"heroic" and took responsi-
bility for many of the terror-
ist activities; Faruq al Qa-
dumi, who represents El
Fatah in the Palestine Lib-
eration_ Organization; and
Khalid al Fatum, chairman
of the National Palestinian
Council of PLO. Waldheim
told him the meetings with
the terrorists was a "chance
encounter" and that he was
not aware of the identity of
the terrorists he met.
Gur Warns Lebanon
on Outside Arab Weapons
TEL AVIV {JTA)—Chief
of Staff Mordechai Gur
warned Lebanon that it
would "become a battlefield"
if it brought in war planes,
anti-aircraft missiles and oth-
er weapons from Arab coun-
tries. His remarks at a press
conference here were viewed
as a response to repprts that
the Lebanese government is
considering a,s kin g other
Arab countries for military
aid against Israeli air raids,
on terrorist encampments in
Lebanon. Such aid reportedly
has already been offered by
President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt.
He claimed that Israel's
armed forces had recovered
and 'in some respects ex-
ceeded their :pre-Yom Kippur
War strength and were capa-
ble of meeting a combined
attack by Egypt, Syria and
Jordan. He said in that con-
nection that Israel was tak-
ing seriously the warlike re-
marks of President Sadat.
Asked why Israel's option
to declare war was not exer-
cised when Syrian and Egyp-
tian forces were massing for
their attacks last October,
Gur replied that it was the
government, not the army,
which makes such decisions.
"This does not mean that
under certain conditions this
option would not be put into
action," he said.
Gen. Gur replied to Syrian
charges that Israeli forces
deliberately destroyed the
Golan Heights town of Ku-
neitra before they withdrew.
He said the army leveled
some houses that might have
served as shelters for snipers
firing on nearby Israeli set-
tlements. But most of the
damage, he said, was sus-
tained when Kuneitra was a
battlefield in the Six-Day
War, the Yam Kippur War
and more recently during the
war of attrition on the north-
ern front.
Vatican Spokesman
Condems Raids on Lebanon
ROME (JTA) — Vatican
spokesman Prof. Frederico
Alessandrini has vigorously
condemned Israeli air raids
against terrorists in Lebanon.
He called them "true acts of
terror," in an article pub-
lished over the 'weekend and
implied that the raids were
tied to Israeli expansionist
interests in southern Leba-
non.
In the article in the Vati-
can periodical L'Ossevatore
Della Domenica, Alessandrini
flatly rejected as "morally
inadmissable" Israeli claims
that the raids were carried
out to prevent Palestinian
terrorist attacks. He implied
the raids were rooted in Is-
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
10—Friday, July 5, 1974
raeli interests in acquiring
the waters of the Litani and
Hasbani rivers in southern
Lebanon. The Israelis "have
never made a secret of their
interest in the hydraulic re-
sources present in southern
Lebanon," wrote Alessan-
drini.
The Vatican spokesman
implied that in order to ac-
quire this "economically in-
teresting" territory, Israel is
deliberately working toward
an 'all-out war with Lebanon.
He described the raids as
preparatory operations lead-
ing up to more "decisive"
Israeli actions against Leba-
non.
