Kissinger: Step-by-Step Talks
in Mideast Facing Difficulties
JNF Works on Settlements in Speeded-Up Rafiah Project

OGDA (JTA) — Today
Ogda near Rafiah, is a trac
of churned up sandy loam
seen through the dust kicked
up by the bulldozers and
earthmovers that the Jewish
National Fund uses to pre
pare the land or a new settle

department experts will
move in — and very soon a
new moshav will begin to
take shape.
By summer of next year,
the first 50 families will move
in with their. farms all
equipped, each with its own
greenhouse, its own turkey
coop and a share in the
moshav's mango orchards.
Work on Ogda, on neigh-
boring Sukkot which will be
a kibutz, and on Nahal Sinai
40 kilometers down the coast
near El Arish, has speeded
up in recent weeks. The or-
der had come through from
the highest government for-
ums to push ahead rapidly
with the development of this
vitally strategic area—Pithat
Rafiah (the Rafah salient).
At Nahal Sinai, JNF ma-
chinery is shifting some
600,000 cubic meters of sand
dunes to prepare the ground
for what will be a Herut-
affiliated moshav on the sea-
shore just east of El A_rish
"capital of Sinai."
Presently, a Nahal post
called Nahal Sinai is situ-
ated just west of the town,
but this is to be moved to
the new location east of the
town.
The move indicates far-
reaching political intentions:
to be ready to return El
Arish and withdraw to the
new Nahal Sinai when and
if real peace with Egypt
comes. Nahal Sinai would
then form Israel's further-
most point of control along
the Mediterranean co as t-,
sealing off the Gaza Strip
from Sinai proper.
In Jerusalem, government
offidials are reluctant to dis-
cuss details — but what is
certain is that settlement in
the Pithat Rafiah area is now
proceeding at an accelerated
pa ce. Ten settlements —
moshavim or kibutzim — are
planned for the region.
Some, like Sadot and Dikla,
already exist and prosper.
Others, like Ogda and Suk-
kot are being worked on.
Others, like Dekel and Eshel,
sited near Ogda and at pres-
ent only army camps, are
still in the blueprint stage.
The regional center that
will service this new complex
of rural Jewish settlements
is "Merkaz Avshalom"—bet-
ter known as Yamit, first
dreamed of by former De-
fense Minister Moshe Dayan,
and now rising slowly but
steadily on the coastal sand
dunes under the supervision
of Housing Ministry planners.
