Peace Process Is Fracturing Israeli Politics

By UZI BENZIMAN

JERUSALEM (JTA) '—
The "peace process" with
Egypt has caused broad and
painful splits within the
fabric of Israeli politics. Not
only have parties and
groupings clashed and been
driven asunder, but long-
standing personal friend-
ships and alliances have
also cracked under the
weight of political and
ideological disputes.
It was the "peace proc-
ess," and a distrust of the
government's pursuance of
it, that drove part of the
Democratic Movement for
Change (DMC) to establish
a separate parliamentary
faction, Shai. The result of
the Camp David summit
prompted Industry, Com-
merce and Tourism Minis-
ter Yigael Horowitz to re-
sign and to urge upon his
political group, the La'am
component in the Likud, to
openly challenge the gov-
ernment's policy.

Landau was brought into
the Cabinet by Begin in
recognition of faithful serv-
ice and friendship in the
Irgun underground and
later during their long exile
in the Israeli political
wilderness.
When he became a
member of the Likud
government, Landau was
a politician-in-
retirement. He had quit
his • post in the Herut
hierarchy before the
elections and had volun-
tarily removed his candi-
dacy from the Likud list
to. the 1977 Knesset.
But Landau, who is 62-
years-old, underwent a
political resurrection after
the Likud triumph at the
polls. Begin invited him to
join his Cabinet and he was
looked upon as a man likely
to become one of the most
influential policymakers in
the new regime. Landau
was in fact, the only veteran
of the "fighting family" (the
term used to describe the
Herut-Irgun "old guard")
who joined Begin's Cabinet.

The other Herut repre-
sentatives were relative
newcomers who never
shared the underground ex-
perience with Begin. But
with Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat's visit and the
beginning of the peace proc-
ess, the expectations that
Landau would play a major
role in crystallizing gov-
ernment policy were not ful-
filled.

Begin brought to bear on
his previous ideological
principles a hard, pragma-
tic reconsideration, while
Landau stuck to the old
ideology with rigid faith-
fulness. Consequently, in-
stead of taking part in shap-

The Cabinet's readiness
to impose various restric-
tions on the continuation of
Jewish settlement on the
West Bank has led to a deep
rift between the Gush
Emunim and their
erstwhile spiritual and
political sponsors, Premier
Menahem Begin and Edu-
cation Minister Zevulun
Hammer ofthe National
Religious Party.
The December dead-
lock in the peace negotia-
tions finally convinced
Defense Minister Ezer
Weizman that Israel had
a cumulative responsibil-
ity for the breakdown of
the talks, an allegation
that sharpened the dif-
ferences between himself
and Begin. Against the
background of the cruel
alternatives that Israel
faces, the Labor Party,
too, is in a state of
dangerous divisiveness.
One section of the party
strives for a more "haw-
kish" line towards the peace
negotiations, while the
"doves" advocate a clear
image of moderation for the
party. These differences in
Labor are exacerbated by
personal rivalries. Former
Premier Yitzhak Rabin on
the one hand, and former
Foreign Minister Yigal
Alton on the
do not
seem to acqUiesce in the
leadership of Shimon Peres,
the former Defense Minis-
ter who is chairman of the
party.
But perhaps the most
moving change in personal
relations that has been
wrought by the peace proc-
ess is that in the relation-
ship, between Begin and his
veteran follower
Minister-Without-Portfolio
Haim Landau.

NEW YORK — A visit to
the office of Irving Berns-
tein, executive vice chair-
man of the national United
Jewish Appeal, begins with
an unusual aesthetic,
spiritual and hristorical ex-
perience.
Greeting the visitor, on a
wall just inside the office
door, is an artfully sculpted
mezuza, one of the two
created by American artist
Bruce Magidsohn from the
original wood beams in a
Springfield, Ill., building
used by Abraham Lincoln
as his law office from 1843
to 1857.
The mezuza is a gift of
James E. Myers, a
Springifield author and
Jewish leader, who
joined with two partners
in purchasing the old
Lincoln building in 1968.
The beams used by
Magidsohn carrying out
Myers' commission were
removed from the build-
ing's attic in the course of
restoring and preserving
the structure in Lincoln's
honor.
Mr. and Mrs. Myers have
retained the second Magid-
sohn mezuza in their
Springfield home.

•

ing Begin's approach to the
negotiations, Landau be-
came the most vociferous
opponent of Begin's policy
within the Cabinet. Re-
markably, though, Land-
au's struggle for a different
policy has won the respect of
his Cabinet colleagues,
even though most of them
disagree with him.
