Israel Settlement Policy Criticized, Work Halted to Hear Arab Appeals UNITED NATIONS — A UN Security Council study charged that Israel is using "often coercive" methods to _force Arabs to surrender landg in the West Bank and other occupied territories to make way for new Jewish settlements. The .study ch-arged that Israel's treatment of the Arab population in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights violated both the Fourth Geneva Convention and Security Council resolutions dating back to 1967. The study was based on the findings of a three-man commission appointed by the Security Council last March at the request of Jor- dan. The commission toured Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon last May to hold hearings an4 gather in- formation on Israel's set- tlement policy. Citing what it considered the anti-Israel character of the resolution that created the commission, Israel refused to cooper- ate or allow members to visit territories they were assigned to investigate. Meanwhile, the Israel Supreme Court issued a temporary injunction halt- ing the fencing off of a 3,500-dunam site at Salfit on the West Bank intended for the expansion of the Jewish settlement of Ariel near Jenin. Local Arabs who claim to own parts of the land were given 15 days to pinpoint their claims. The govern- ment will then be required to show cause why the land should not remain open and unfenced. The court order does not apply to work in the settle- ment itself. The com- plainants produced sworn affidavits from two mem- bers of the Sheli faction, Col (res.) Meir Payil and Gen. (res.) Mattityahu Peled, stating that the land the government proposes to at- tach to Ariel has no security value nor, in fact, does the settlement itself. statement which was chal- lenged by other ranking officers and was rejected by the court. The army in fact has . made it clear that it does not consider any and all tracts of land on the West Bank to be of security value. State Attorney Gavriel Bach pre- sented the army's position to the SUpreme Court last week. - He argued that a 500- dunam tract seized for the settlement of Mattityahu in the Ramallah area was im- portant for security because it is boated only 12 kilomet- ers from Ben-Gurion Air- port and could be used by an enemy to disrupt air traffic by rocket fire. But in the case of the Jaabari hill outside Heb- ron, the army refuses to assert any security claim. For that reason the gov- ernment rescinded its earlier orders to seize the hill for the expansion of the Orthodox township of Kiryat Arba, a Gush Emunim stronghold ad- jacent to Hebron. In a related development, a special bill that would expedite the government's seizure of Bedouin lands in the Negev to build two new U.S.-financed air bases was cleared by a special Cabinet committee headed by Pre- mier Menahem Begin and will be presented in the Knesset by Finance Minis- ter Simha Ehrlich early next week;-officials The measure would em- power the Israeli authorities to evict the Be- douins after a 90-day notice, but gives them the right to appeal. Unlike regular land sei- zure proceedings, the Be- douins will not be allowed to challenge the seizure orders before the courts in advance of their eviction. They will be granted the right of ap- peal, first to a special tri- The ruling was the third intervention by the Supreme Court in West Bank settlement activi- ties in recent weeks. In the first, concerning lands at Bethel, the court upheld the government's right to seize privately owned land if it is needed for security purposes. In the second, the court or- dered a halt to the con- struction of the Gush Emunim settlement of Mon Moreh near Nablus until the government supplies proof that it is necessary for security. The new court order ,em- phasized its insistence on proof of security needs. MONTREAL (JTA) — The Canada-Israel Com- mittee gave a dinner in honor of Canada's new Am- bassador to Israel, Joseph S. Stanford and held a farewell reception for Israel's outgo- ing Ambassador, Mordechai Shalev. Stanford, who will re- place Ambassador Edward Lee, joined the Canadian foreign service in 1960 and has served in Paris, Bonn and Jamaica. Shalev said he is leaving the Israeli foreign service because he has reached the retirement age, but intends to give lectures and write articles on foreign affairs. He and his wife will live in Jerusalem. Chief of Staff Gen. Raphael Eytan is due to submit a sworn affidavit at- testing to the security value of Alon Moreh. Originally, he had submitted only a Better is he that is lightly esteemed and hath a ser- vant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lac- keth bread.

Bedouin leaders have complained bitterly that they were not getting the same treatment as Jewish settlers who will have to evacuate the Rafah salient 'of Sinai when it is returned to Egypt. Government officials, de- fending the bill, stressed that the land must be seized soon because work on the air fields must be completed within three years under terms of the Israeli- Egyptian peace treaty and normal land seizure pro- ceedings can drag out for years. They said further that the Bedouins have no title to about 95 percent of the land, only possessors' rights; that they will be offered compen- sation at rates in excess of the normal level for similar evictees; and that they will be able to appeal on the question of compensation.
