Rabbi Shmuel M. But-

community, added that city
hall also made "our partici-

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Knesset Defense and
Foreign Affairs Committee
will discuss a proposal that
Israel should offer to set up
a joint industrial project
with Egypt in the town of El
Arish in northern Sinai.
The idea was raised in the
Knesset plenum by Knesset
member David Golomb of
the Democratic Movement
for Change.
Golomb accused the gov-
ernment of rejecting Egyp-
tian President Anwar
Sadat's suggestion of an Is-
raeli goodwill gesture in El
Arish. "Why is it that each
Israeli response begins with
a no?" he asked.
Replying for the govern-
ment, Minister-Without-
Portfolio Moshe Nissim said
Israel had replied positively
to Sadat's suggestion, but
asked for time to consider
the issue. It was Sadat who
rejected the idea, Nissim
said. -
