President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt "did not come to Is-
rael to make things easier
for us."
He said Sadat "brings us
nearer the moment of truth,
the negotiating hour." Eban
added: "Now it is time for
Israel to determine the per-
missible limits of peace."
The Israeli diplomat
spoke at a special gifts
dinner Dec. 12 at Chicago's
Palmer House.
Eban noted that "without
Egypt, the Arab world can-
not make war; without
Egypt, the Arab world can-
not make peace." He
stressed that "only by rea-
son of Egypt's strength do
Arabs have power and
voice. We must decide—do

we want peace, or do we
want Arab unity?"
Continuing, Eban de-
clared: "The peace slogan
should not be 'unanimity,'
but 'leadership,' because
Arab unity in the past has
been the formula for war,
whereas every forward
movement for peace in-
itiative. If peace with all
Arab states is possible,
there is nothing wrong with
peace with one Arab state."
Eban emphasized that the
main obstacle to peace has
always been "in the view of
our neighbors, Israel is a
symptom of discontinuity—
there was no provision for
non-Arab sovereignty" in
the Middle East.
He said 1978 "will be the
year of decision," adding,
"We must make a total ef-
fort in that, the _decisive
year—the crucial year." He
said "there are many
storms ahead and we must
ask the Jewish people
everywhere for their solid-
arity with Israel."
At a press conference the
next day, Eban acknowledg-
ed that the policies of for-
mer Secretary of State Hen-
ry Kissinger set the stage
for the Cairo initiative.

"The disengagement pacts
of 1973-74 were the bridge
from war to peace in the
Middle East," he said.
But he warngd that the
Cairo conference would fail
until both the Arabs and
Israel were willing to corn-
promise on the West Bank.
"I don't think. Israel and
Egypt can reach agreement
without the principle of re-
garding the West Bank ter-
ritory as negotiable," Eban
said. He added taht he was
confident that Premier
Menahem Begin would mod-
erate his stand against giv-
ing up any of Judaea and
Samaria.
Eban also stressed that a
peace agreement between
Israel and Egypt "is almost
equal to a total settlement
because the momentum
thus generated would make
it very difficult for other
Arabs not to join."
Navon Will Not Oppose Dulzin
for Jewish Age ncy Chairman
JERUSALEM (JTA)—
Knesseter Yitzhak Navon
announced that he will not
be a candidate for the chair-
manship of the Jewish Age-
ncy.
Navon further said he will
not seek to be a member of
the Jewish Agency Execu-
tiye. He did not elaborate on
the reasons for his decision,
but said he reached it after
"considerable thought."
Navon disclosed his deci-
sion to the Secretariate of
the Labor Zionist Movement
in a meeting attended by
Mrs. Golda Meir and Labor
chairman Shimon Peres.
The participants reportedly
asked Navon not to pub-
licize his decision, hoping he
would change his mind, or
alternatively allow the par-
ty to find an alternate candi-
date.
Labor will now have to
find a candidate to oppose
the Likud candidate, Jewish
Agency treasurer Leon Dul-
zin.
Meanwhile, Premier Men-
ahem Begin has told Nissim
Cohen, president of the
World Federation of Sephar-
dic Jews, that opposition to
the election of Dubin will be
regarded as an unfriendly
act against the government.
Begin said the same to Mrs.
Charlotte Jacobson, a lead-
er of the Confederation of
United Zionists. He assured
all that he will do every-
thing in his power to see
that Dulzin is elected.
In the U.S., the Zionists-
Revisionists have with-
drawn their lawsuit aimed
at preventing the-Zionist Or-
ganization of America from
using pictures of Begin and
Defense Minister Ezer
Weizman on ZOA election
materials. A ZOA spokes-
man termed the lawsuit "a
publicity stunt."
The United Zionist-Revi-
sionists and Americans for
Progressive Israel also pro-
tested the American Zionist
Federation decision to mail
out an information brochure
on the World Zionist Coh-
gress elections which would
not include campaign mate-
rial from the eight com-
peting slates.
Both _issues were suppos-
ed to have been resolved by
a central election commis-
sion in Jerusalem, but the
American Zionist Feder-
ation said the Jerusalem
ruling had no authority in
the U.S. Only API and the
Reivsionists voted against
the AZF decision.

Voters must return the
World Zionist Congress bal-
lots to the American Arbi-
tration Association which is
supervising the balloting by
Jan. 3. The Zionist Congress
will start Feb. 20 in Jerusa-
lem.
Meanwhile, some 20
American rabbis represent-
ing Orthodox, Conservative
and Reform congregations,
have sent letters to 3,000
American rabbis in support
of the ZOA's Slate 3.
The rabbis referred to the
singular role the ZOA has
played "in the battle for
public opinion and support
for Israel's righteous
cause," and urged the rab-
bis to "exert their in-
fluence" on behalf of ZOA-
Slate 3. The rabbis noted
that throughout ZOA his-
tory, it has encompassed
American Jews of all
branches of Judaism
"united in Zionist achieve-
ment."

Death, Times Says
LONDON—David Holden,
chief foreign correspondent
of The Sunday Times of
London, who was found
murdered in Egypt on Dec.
7 met his death after spott-
ing Palestinian terrorists on
their way to disrupt the Is-
raeli-Egyptian peace talks
in Cairo, The Sunday Mirror
of London reported.
The newspaper said Mr.
Holden, who was a friend of
King Hussein of Jordan,
"was believed to be the cou-
rier of a special message"
from the king to President
Sadat, "promising support
to the Egyptian leader's
peace talks."
The tabloid said the ter-
rorists and Mr. Holden had
been aboard the same plane
flying from Amman, Jor-
dan, to Cairo. It said that
Mr. Holden and the leader
of the Palestinian group,
which the report did not
identify, had recognized
each other, and from then
on the correspondent was
"a marked man."
