Brussels May Lead to New Round of Peace Talks

erations were classified.
He disclosed only that
five ministers spoke fol-
lowing Dayan's briefing.
There was considerable
interest in the meeting be-
cause Dayan is thought to
have modified his position
on the resumption of peace
talks with Egypt. Two
weeks ago, the foreign
minister declared publicly
that there was nothing
re to discuss and it was
o the Egyptians to ac-
t or reject the draft
treaty as it stands. On his
return from Brussels, how-
ever, Dayan said both par-

ties should make com-
promises in order to resume
the negotiations.
A number of his ministe-
rial colleagues, among them
Minister Without Portfolio
Moshe Nisim and Absorp-
tion Minister David Levy,
are understood to have
criticized Dayan for his pub-
lic statement Sunday urg-
ing concessions by "both
governments." They argued
that Israel's position had
earned a fairly good recep-
tion in U.S. public opinion,
was strongly endorsed by
U.S. Jewry, and had seemed
clear and determined to
public opinion inside Israel.

Double Celebrations in Israel
as Hanuka, Christmas Arrive

JERUSALEM ( JTA) —
Hanuka and Christmas
were celebrated in a variety
of ceremonies in Jerusalem
and Bethlehem Sunday as
well as throughout the
country.
The Jewish festival of
lights began with the light-
ing of the first candle at the
Western Wall by
Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi
Shlomo Goren. The cere--
mony was dedicated to
Soviet Jewry, and most of
the crowd consisted of new
immigrants, public figures
and tourists.
Rabbi Goren was handed
a torch by Yigal Hanoch,
the six-year-old son of
Soviet prisoner Leib
Hanoch. Among the speak-
ers was Prof.- Benjamin
Levich, the Soviet aliya ac-
tivist who only recently ar-
rived in Israel.
Speaking in Russian, he
implored the public not to
forget the Jews who have
not yet been granted exit
visas from the USSR. Rabbi
Goren, in his speech, called
on Iranian Jews to leave for
Israel before it was too late.
The Jewish National
Fund lit the giant torches in
the form of menorot on 18"
lookout posts from the
Golan Heights in the north
to Sharm el-Sheikh in the
south. In Jerusalem, the
coincidence between
Hanuka and Christmas, for
the first time since 1957,
lent a special festive air to
the city, as the lights from
Hanuka menorot mingled
with those from Christmas
trees and other decorations.
Some 150 Lebanese pil-
s attended a special -
istmas eve service held
at the King David Citadel in
East Jerusalem in solidar-
ity with the Christians of
Lebanon. The service was
held under the slogan:
"Nevertheless, Lebanon
Wishes You , a Merry
Christmas."
Thousands of pilgrims
from all over the world
attended the midnight
mass at Bethlehem's
Manger Square. Others
filled the numerous
churches in East
Jerusalem. All events
took place without dis-
turbances.
In
Bucharest,
the
"Hanuka Marathon" con-

ducted by Chief Rabbi
Moses Rosen will continue
until Jan. 2 during which he
will visit 27 Jewish com-
munities in Romania.

Dayan's declaration, how-
ever, was bound to raise
doubts and second thoughts
among supporters and
commentators, Dayan's cri-
tics argued.
Dayan himself, it was
learned, is not pressing for a
change in the Cabinet's de-
cision of 10 days ago reject-
ing the Egyptian demands.
He merely wants a new ex-
pression of Israel's readi-
ness to resume negotia-
tions, and in particular to
reconsider its position on
the autonomy letter (which
includes the "target date,"
which Israel rejects) and on
Article Four (the five-year
"review clause").
Premier Begin's posi-
tion, according to
sources close to him, is
that Israel can resume
talks on formulations --
and thus move towards a
resolution of Article Four
and the autonomy letter
--- but cannot change its

position on the substan-
tive issues embodied in
Article Six (which severs
the treaty from any
operative linkage to the
Palestinian autonomy
and sets the treaty above
Egypt's inter-Arab de-
fense pacts).
President Carter, vaca-
tioning in Plains, Ga., said
Monday, "I think we will
have a peace treaty in the
Middle East . . ." He said he
spoke to Vance on his return
from Brussels and the secre-
tary "thought that the Is-
raelis and the Egyptians

had a good, solid discussion"
there. ---
Sadat, interviewed on
Cairo television Monday on
the occasion of his 60th
birthday, charged that the
refusal of other Arab states
to unite behind his peace in-
itiative was playing into the
hands of Begin who, he al-
leged, was seeking to frus-
trate a comprehensive set-
tlement in the Middle East.
"It is in Begin's interest
that the Arab countries re-

main divided to achieve his
objectives by creating a
Greater Israel from the
Euphrates to the Nile,"
Sadat said. He char-
acterized Begin as an ex-
pansionist for 30 years.
Nevertheless, he was op-
timistic that a settlement
would be achieved eventu-
ally.
