Ouster of Shah of Iran May Complete Israel Isolation

,

(Continued from Page 1)
Israel returned to Egypt,
according to the Geneva
disengagement agree-
ment, the Abu Rodeis oil
fields which supplied a
large part_ of Israel's
needs. Now, Isra .31 is
about to return to Egypt,
according to the Camp
David agreement, the
Suez Gulf area with its
rich off-shore oil wells.
They now produce 20,000
barrels a day and a new
well is being drilled, but
Iran supplied - 90,000
barrels a day.
Ak . Iran used Israel's Red
a-Mediterranean pipe .
ne running from. Eilat to
Ashdod and Haifa for a
large part of its own oil ex-
ports to Western Europe.
Economic experts say that
over 20 million tons of Ira-
nian oil used to pass every
year through the Israeli
overland line. Now the pipe
line will probably lie dead,
- depriving the Israel treas-
ury of an important income
and dealing a serious blow
to the city of Eilat. In 1967,
Israel was ready to go to war
when the Arabs closed the
approaches to the south-
ernmost Israeli port. Now,
Eilat's economy and its
functional purpose have
been wiped out for the time
being, overnight.
Israel has already ob-
tained promises of in-
creased oil shipments from
Mexico and Venezuela
while the U.S., according to
the Canip David agree-
ments, has pledged itself to
supply Israel with oil
supplies. These will be far
more complicated to ship,
more - expensive and more
dependent on international
good will.
The new Iranian regime
will also stop Israeli import

which last year, according
to foreign trade reports, to-
taled some $120 million. Is-
raeli contracting com-
panies, such as Solel Boneh,
had at the time of the Ira-
nian upheaval contracts for
some $300 million for the
construction of roads,
schools, darns and large
industrial plants.
Many Israeli com-
panies were operating
profitable branches in
Iran. The presence in the
country of some 80,000
Jews, many with impor-
tant positions in various
business fields, had
helped Lsraeli firms to
implant themselves in
Teheran and a number of
provincial centers.
The most serious blow
will, however, be in the
political field. The Shah's
departure spells an end to
Israel's hoPe to make dis-
creet but effective alliances
with non-Arab Moslem
states in the area and hop
over the walls. of Arab
enmity.
" The main danger which it
faces will come from
America itself. According to
West European experts, the
Iranian crisis is putting
America on the horns of a
dilemma. It will have to
chose either to support Is-
rael, its only remaining
serious and reliable ally in
the area, to the hilt, or, to
back the moderate Arab re-
gimes in Saudi Arabia and
Egypt. Any such political
backing will entail in-
creased American pressures
on Israel to give in to Egyp-
tian demands and sign' the
peace treaty on which Egyp-
tian President Anway
Sadat has staked his
prestige and the eventual
survival of his regime.

ABC Censure Asked
from News Council

'sponsible for the con-
tents of the show broad-

them for giving the ad-

freedom in the program
to justify their killings of

In commenting on the
complaint he filed with

Glaser said, "The executive

news source."
In his complaint, Rabbi

Arledge for justifying the
network's rationale in a
press statement that de-
clared that the program
"examines the Palestinian
perception of _ right and
wrong to better understand
the Palestinian role in the
Mideast." -
Rabbi Glaser asserted
that the documentary ABC
offered to the public was an
irresponsible way for ABC
to deal with terrorism.fThe
message this rationale con-
veys," he declared in his
complaint to the council, "is
that if terrorists kill enough
people they will get a hear-
ing" (on ABC). "ABC gave
that hearing," he concluded,
"and therefore a 'review'
and 'admonishment' of ABC
by the National News
Council is clearly called
for."

Meanwhile, the unrest
in Iran continues. Martin
Berkovitz, an American
engineer working in Iran,
was stabbed to death in
the kitchen of his home in
the southern Iranian
town of Kerman, possi-

Jewish, according to re-
ports reaching the U.S.
State Departnient.

English-language publica-

as reporting that a note
posted on the front of his
door said, "go back to your
own country."
The newspaper also said
that Berkovitz was killed
