Observers believe that Is- rael's position with respect to the hijacker's demands will be determined in the next 24 hours by the posi- tions taken by the French and other governments in- volved. Israel will not be the first to submit to the de- mands and is expected to adhere to its long standing Forced by the danger to the lives of more than 200 hos- tages held by hijackers of an Air France plane that had been diverted to Uganda, thLt§rael government Wednesday night agreed to negotiate fcIrr e release to the terrorists of 33 Arabs held in Israeli prisons on crimes for terrorist acts. When the Israeli decision was announced, the terror- ists set a new deadline in their threat to murder the hos- tages, at 7 a.m. Sunday, July 4. One of the late reports was that the hijackers said they would kill the 147 Jews held for ransom, implying that the non-Jews would not be molested. The fact that the hijackers and their victims and the Air France plane were held in Uganda, ruled by Idi Amin, evidently was a threatening factor in the tragic situation because of the hopelessness of securing cooperation there for the victims of the new horror imposed by Israel's enemies. _ By ZVI ILLAN The "agony" of the families of the 800 Israelis held among the hostages was a compelling factor in Israel's deci- JERUSALEM — After sion. the Six-Day War, many people believed that the Is- JERUSALEM (JTA) — mands.

At Israel's request, French President Valery •Giscard d'Estaing ordered French officials dealing with the hijacking to treat the 83 Israeli passengers aboard the plane "the Bridge of Peace or Enmity? Israel's Pollution Problem Growing . Pollution is becoming a major problem in Israel, and animals and plants are in danger. The government protects the animal species shown above. In top row, from left, are: houbara and the striped hyena; and bottom row, from left: lappet-faced vul- ture, little owl and white pelican and flamingo. Israel Nature Reserves Authority said that not one of the 10 rivers that empty into the Mediterranean are clean. The polluted rivers have caused about 20 types of plants to die, and 25 different types of fish, insects, birds and other animals are in danger. Extensive development accompanied by indus- trial waste dumped into the state's waters have caused the pollution problem. Israel and the surrounding Arab states: "Many believe that the bridge of peace of the Is- raeli Arabs has been transformed into a bridge of enmity, but I disagree. I think that it has remained a bridge of peace, but our attitute has changed. What has changed within us is that after the Six- Day War we are no longer prepared to acquiesce in the status quo determined for us. We suffered from oppression and discrimi- nation: we did not receive most Of our rights. First of all we intend demanding all of our rights; after- wards we will begin think- ing about building a bridge." Sharkieh Fakhri, of Jat Village in the Arab Trian- gle, is a Bar Ilan graduate in Hebrew Literature,. who teaches Hebrew at the Arab Secondary School in Ramle. He gives his opinion re-. garding the students' duty to stand guard on the uni- versity campuses: "I see no good in Arab stu- dents having to stand guard in the university. Before coming to the university they didn't know that-they would have to .do guard duty. Neither did the Jews, in fact, because it all arose by dint of circumstances. But the Arab students came to study and not to engage in what are political mat- ters. Do you expect me to point a gun at my breth- ren?" Jamil Gerah, a fourth year student of education and criminology and em- ployed by the Histadrut Executive as coordinator between the Arab Students' Committee and the Histad- rut, is not against standing guard but against the duty to do so. "In former years it was said that students who can- not stand guard for reasons of conscience are excused. What was true then applies also today. The conscience is there, they are now called upon to fulfill the duty. That accounts for our op- position. On the other hand, standing guard is a security act. The Arabs are absolved from military service and from all other acts of a secu- rity character."

In addition to the 83 Is- raelis, approximately 30 French Jews are among the hostages. They were return- ing from a tour of Israel.
