JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Gush Emunim, the settle-
ment group that calls for
wide-ranging settlements
throughout the adMinis-
tered territories, experi-
enced Tuesday one of its
shortest settlement at-
tempts ever.
A group of Gush Emunim
settlers occupied a hill near
the Jerusalem-Ramallah
highway. The settlers —

erected a temporary fence
and shut themselves inside.
An army force which ar-
rived shortly after made it
clear that unless the
settlers left they would be
removed by force.
In the mean time, several
other Gush . Emunim
families are still camping
by an army roadblock near
the Arab city of Nablus. The
IDF will not allow the
families to settle at a nearby
site, which they claim was
promised to them by the
government. .
Gush Emunim mem-
bers retaliated _Tuesday
by blocking other roads
in Samaria.
"If the freedom of move-
ment of Jews' is limited,"
they said, "so will be
others."
Three Likud MKs, Geula
Cohen, Dov Shilansky and
Moshe Shamir, and Haim
Druckman of the National
Religious Party, rushed to
the roadblock and fired off a
telegram to Begin to order
the road block removed.
Cohen spent the night with
the Gush and was joined by
another militant, Yigael
Hurwitz of Likud's Laam
faction. - '
Interior Minister Yosef
Burg of the NRP also visited
the squatters but they were
unable to persuade him to
issue a political statement
on their behalf.
The Gush group, which
was the first to establish it-
self 'illegally on the West
Bank in 1975, apparently
sought a confrontation to
obtain publicity. They an-
nounced in advance their
ixttention to occupy the un-
authorized site.
The group dispatched a
letter to • Premier
Menahem Begin and to
three Cabinet ministers

their settlement plans be
placed on the Cabinet's
agenda immediately for
approval. Their action
appeared to be part of a
coordinated plan by the
Gush to force a show-
down with the govern-
ment on the settlement is-
sue.
Lust Wednesday army
units evacuated two groups
of Gush squatters from
other unauthorized sites in
the Samaria district.
The resurgence of Gush
activity coincided with the
end of the three-month
period of peace negotiations
with Egypt that began fol-
lowing the Camp David
summit meeting in Sep-
tember. Israel undertook at
that time to freeze settle-
ment activity in the occu-
pied territories.
But a dispute developed
alm-o'st immediately be=
tween Begin who insisted
that the freeze was for three
months only and President
Carter who said it was, to
last for the duration of peace
talks. Although the three
months ended Dec. 17, the
government has refrained
until now from establishing
new settlements.
Ranaan Weitz, head of .
the World Zionist Organ-
ization's Settlement De-
partment, sharply
criticized the Gush. He
called them a band of ac-
tivists who are trying to
force the government to
take political decisions
but know nothing them-
selves about settlemen6.
It was learned from reli-
able sources, meanwhile,
that the controversial set-
tlement established by the
Gush near the Kadum army
camp in the heart of
Samaria almost two years
ago will be given civilian
status.
Originally declared il-
legal by the Labor-led gov-
ernment which was then in
office, the Gush were
allowed to remain on the
land nominally part of the

military compound. But the
army will soon relocate its
base, leaving the original
camp entirely to the Gush.
Similarly, the Gush will
soon be granted permanent
settlement rights at Shilo;
an area they seized without
authorization last year. The
Likud government allowed
them to remain on the pre-
text that they were on an
archaeological expedition, a
ruse that proved embarras-
sing to the authorities and
was emphatically denied by
the Gish therri'selves.
The government insists
that all settlement moves
be carried out according
to plan and with official
authorization.
Gen. Avraham Orli, coor-
dinator of activities in the
occupied . territories met
separately this week with
Mayor Fahed Kawasme of
Hebron and Rabbi Moshe
Levinger, leader of the Or-
thodox community of
Kiryat Arba that adjoins it.
His purpose was to prevent
incidents after clashes
Saturday between troops
and some 300 Kiryat Arba
Jews who wanted to pray at
the Patriarchs Tomb in
Hebron, a shrine sacred to
both Jews and Moslems.
The worshippers were
evacuated by soldiers after
local Arabs complained that
Jews had infringed on their
part of the tomb. The troops
were then barely able to
calm a crowd of angry Mos-
lems waiting for their turn
to pray.
