Israeli-Egyptian Border May Remain Closed Eight Months

(Continued from Page 1)
Justice Meir Shamgar,
speaking on behalf of the
three-man bench, said the
local military governor was
entirely within his powers
in ordering the area closed
the the settlers out. It made
no difference, the court
ruled, that the settlers had
entered their vegetable
patch before the order was
issued and that the order
''d not specifically forbid
_ emaining" there but only
spoke of "entering."
Weizman, in an unsuc-
cessful attempt to persuade
the settlers to go quietly,
pointed out that the politi-
cal issue had been decided
democratically in the Knes-
set. "I very much recom-
mend, suggest and ask you
to accept the verdict of the
majority," Weizman said.
Before taking off for a
three-day visit to Britain as
guest of the Jewish commu-
nity this week, Begin took
issue with Ghali's conten-
tion that normalization of
relations between Israel
and Egypt will begin in nine
months. Begin said Sadat
agreed in Washington to
issue a jointstatement at El

Arish this weekend opening
the borders.
Last weekend, Sadat
told a group of visiting
American Jews in
Alexandria that it would
be better for Egypt if
Begin did not continually
antagonize the Arab
states with his state-
ments. Begin countered
this week, blasting Egyp-
tian officials for their
statements which "con-
travened" the peace
agreements.
Begin referred to a re-
mark by Egypt's Deputy
Premier Tohami to the ef-
fect that he would organize
a march by one million Mos-
lems to liberate Jerusalem.
"I could also say to
President Sadat, why do you
embarrass me with these

provocative statements?"
Begin said.

He reiterated that
"Jerusalem is ours forever
and will never be divided"
and that "a Palestinian
state will not be set up in
Judaea and Samaria."

"Guideline" for the Israeli
negotiating team. "We de-
cided that we shall present
the plan to the negotiators
— that is, the Egyptians
and the Americans, only
after a specific decision of
the government," he said.

Begin met with U.S. Sec-
retary of State Cyrus
Vance, who was also in
London this week, for talks
Thursday on the negotia-
tions with Egypt on Pales-
tinian autonomy set to open
in Beersheba today. But he
said in reply to reporters
questions at Ben-Gurion
airport that he would not in-
troduce Israel's autonomy
plan to Vance at their Lon-
don meeting. The plan was
approved by the Cabinet
Monday to serve as a

Questioned about the
wide gap between the Is-
raeli and the Egyptian
positions on autonomy,
Begin observed that all
international negotia-
tions begin with gaps be-
tween the parties. But he
refused to say that the Is-
raeli plan was only an
opening position for bar-
gaining purposes. "This
is Israel's position,
period," Begin said. "One
should neither add nor
subtract."

Syrians, and a few internal

lifted, the Jewish commu-
nity of Syria is by no means
free.
"Although Syrian Jews
can go abroad for tourist vis-
its or for health reasons,
they must post a $6,000
bond to insure their return,
and members of their family
are required to stay behind
to serve, in effect, as hos-
tages. Members of the 500-
year-old community are
still not allowed to emi-
grate, and a restriction that
is lifted today can just as
easily be reimposed tomor-
row.
"The central fact of life
for Syria's Jews is their
existence as a suspect

Mrs. Javits once worked for

Jewish protests over
the execution of Iranian
Jewish leader Habib El-
ghanian continued, with
a Zionist delegation meet-
ing with officials at the
Iranian Embassy in
Washington.
Rabbi Joseph Sternstein
of the American Zionist
Federation, Louis Berns-
tein of the Religious
Zionists of America and
Ivan Novick of the Zionist
Organization of America
were invited to the embassy
after sending a telegram.
The three said the em-
bassy assured them Iranian
Jews would not be consid-
ered disloyal to Iran just be-
cause they were Zionists.

While in London, Begin
dined with Britain's new
Conservative Prime Minis-
ter Margaret Thatcher and
met with Former Prime
Minister James Callaghan,
now leader of the opposi-
tion.
Monday's Cabinet deci-
sion to approve Begin's au-
tonomy plan was called a
victory by both hard-liners
and moderates.
According to the hardlin-
ers — Ariel Sharon, the
Herut and National Reli-
gious Party — the decision
was a major success for
them, a triumph for their
maximalist position on the
content of the autonomy
proposals which the Prime
Minister wholeheartedly
endorsed and determinedly
pushed through the
Cabinet.
According to moder-
ates such as Weizman
and Yigael Yadin, the de-
cision not to submit the
paper fornially at this
state was a significant
victory for their tactical
approach. They had con-
tended all along that it

for Israel. Until a lasting
peace between Israel and
Syria is reached, treat-
ment of the Syrian
Jewish community as a
pawn in their conflict
can, unfortunately, be
expected to continue.
"We must strongly pur-
sue the fulfillment of Syria's
obligations under the
United Nations' Universal
Declaration on Human
Rights, which insures the
rights of individuals to
freely emigrate.
"The American commu-
nity, private citizens must
express their concern to the
State Department as well as
to the Syrian government,
and members of Congress
must continue to keep a
close watch on the situation
and be prepared to bring
whatever pressure we can to
improve the conditions
under which Syrian Jews
live.
"It is only by keeping the
spotlight on this highly
vulnerable community that
we can lessen the effects of
that vulnerability."

would be misguided and
prejudicial to the negoti-
ations to present the
Egyptians with a tough
and detailed official
document right at the
outset of the talks.
On Tuesday, Interior
Minister Yosef Burg, who is
to lead the Israeli
negotiators at Beersheba,
refused to supply members
of the Knesset Foreign Af-
fairs and Defense Commit-
tee with copies of the plan.
He told them that Premier
Begin had empowered him
only to read it out, not to
distribute it in writing.
