Envoy Ends Visit
PARIS (JTA) — Israeli
Minister of Health Victor
Shemtov said that French
public opinion held a mis-
taken belief that the Middle
East conflict stems from
Israel's-refusal "to recognize
the Palestinians." On the
contrary, Shemtov said, the
Arab-Israeli conflict arises
from a refusal of the Pales-
tinians to recognize Israel
and the right of Jews to a
nation of their own.
The Mapam minister
spoke to reporters at the end
of a three-day official visit
to France as the guest of the
French government.
Shemtov, who conferred
during his visit with
French Premier Jacques
Chirac, said that Franco-
Israeli relations have im-
proved. He said that he did
not meet with French So-
cialist leader Francois
Mitterand during his trip
because Mitterand was
absent from Paris.
Observors believe the visit
signals improved Israeli-
French relations.

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Zionist Organization of
America wants the Republi-
can Party to- promise, in its
1976 Presidential platform,
to continue efforts for peace
in the Middle East through
direct negotiations between
the conflicting parties, to re-
affirm that there will be no
imposed solution and no set-
tlement at the expense of Is-
rael and to pledge to keep Is-
rael strong within
defensible borders.
Probe of `Merida'
Unneeded: Baram
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
Knesset debate over
"yerida" — Jewish emigra-
tion from Israel — bogged
down in a bitter procedural
wrangle last week when the
chamber rejected a Likud
proposal for an official par-
liamentary investigation of
the problem.
The motion, by Menahem
Begin, was stricken from
the agenda at the request of
Labor Minister Moshe
Baram who contended there
was no reason for an in-
quiry commission.
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Is-
rael's top leadership and
representatives of the Arab
community — at least that
section of it considered loyal
to the State — engaged in a
frank exchange of views
over the growing problem of
deteriorating relations be-
tween the Jewish majority
and Arab minority in Israel.
The occasion was a day-
long symposium, sponsored
by the Labor Party and held
at the Party's ideological
center, Beit Berl. The chair-
man was former Foreign
Minister Abba Eban. The
speakers included Premier
Yitzhak Rabin, Defense

Shlikhim Program
May Be Revamped
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
Jewish Agency committee
has offered a series of rec-
ommendations to stream-
line the' work of overseas
emissaries — shlikhim.
The committee suggested
that the various depart-
ments which send shlikhim
overseas should adopt ident-
ical criteria in selecting
them and that one institute
should do the selecting for
all departments.
One institute should also
prepare the shlikhim for
their missions, leaving each
department the option of
training the potential emis-
saries for its specific duty.
At the same time the
committee recommended
that a single emissary
should represent the inter-
ests of several departments
whenever possible.
Bergman Jailed
NEW YORK — Rabbi
Bernard Bergman, central
figure in the $1.2 million
Medicaid nursing home
scandal in New York, was
sentenced this week to four
months in prison and or-
dered to turn over the rec-
ords of his Park Crescent
Nursing Home to a court-
appointed receiver.
Minister Shimon Peres and
members of the Knesset
both Jewish and Arab.
Both sides expressed
grievances. David, Hacohen,
a veteran MK and ardent
promoter of better Jewish-
Arab relations, chided Is-
raeli Arab leaders "who
know better" for remaining
silent while a campaign of
vilification was mounted
against Israel by the PLO
charging that "we kill, mur-
der and slaughter the Arabs
in Israel."
Saif A. Din Zuabi, an
Arab MK associated with
the Labor Party who was
defeated by a Communist
slate for re-election as
Mayor of Nazareth, spoke
of discrimination against
Israeli Arabs. He charged
curtailment of Arab rights
and deliberate disregard
of the Arabs' national
identity.
acknowledged
Zuabi
that living conditions and
educational opportunities
have improved for Israeli
Arabs. But he charged that
the state does little for Arab
youths after they complete
their studies. They cannot
find jobs and are thus easy
prey for the Communists,
he said.
Rabin defended his gov-
ernment's policy toward the
Arab minority, but admit-
ted that mistakes were
made in carrying out that
policy and that equal rights
in theory were not always
translated into practice.
However, he said, Israeli
Arabs are exempt from
many obligations placed on
Jews, such as serving_in the
armed forces.
Peres addressed himself
to the immediate issue of
discord between Israeli
Arabs and Jews — the
expropriation of land by
the government, especially
in Galilee. But the Defense
Minister maintained that
the expropriations were
not discriminatory since
they involved more Jewish
than Arab-owned lands.
All the land expropriated
was required for develop-
ment and industrialization
that benefit-s- all citizens,
Peres claimed.

Israeli Arabs Ask
Full Civil Rights
TEL AVIV(JTA)- A com-
mittee of 11 Arab heads of
local councils have com-
pleted a memorandum to
Premier Yitzhak Rabin call-
ing for full civil rights for all
Israeli Arabs.
The memorandum, which
underwent severaL changes
before it was approved late
last week at a meeting in
the Galilee village of Umm-
el-Fahem, had at one stage
called for a binational state.
The reaction to this in Israel
was so strong that the com-
pleted memorandum elimi-
nates any mention of a bina-
tional state but does refer to
the Arab nation.
The major specific de-
mand contained in the me-
morandum is that all pre-
vious land expropriations be
cancelled and that there no
longer be any confiscations
of Arab land in the future.
