he called "disappointing

He warned, "Israel must
not lend itself to support
a breach of an agree-
ment. We must insist that
the agreement is hon-

But Allon castigated the
government for waiting
until the last minute to
tackle the issue. "The gov-

Meanwhile, a spokesman
for the UN forces in the
Middle East, Hugo Rotsch,
said the future mainte-
nance of the Sinai de-
militarized zones is under
discussion. The withdrawal
of the 4,000-man UNEF
force will take about six
weeks to complete. The
115-man UNTSO force will
remain in the region pend-
ing further instructions.
Rotscha also replied to
Foreign Minister Moshe
Dayan's charge that the
United Nations Interim
Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)
provides "an umbrella for
terrorist activity." He ob-
served that the Palestinians
in Lebanon claim the UN-
IFIL serves as an umbrella
for the Israel-supported
Christian militia in South
Lebanon.
According to sources at
the UN, Waldheim in-
formed the Security Council
that UNEF's withdrawal
would take about six weeks
while the removal of UN-
EF's logistic material and
equipments would take
about six months. Wal-
dheim met Tuesday with Is-
rael Ambassador Yehuda
Blum and Egyptian Ambas-
sade,- Esmet Meguid.
UNEF was established by
the Security Council in
1973 to supervise the dis-
engagement agreements

treaty. Israel also objects to
UNTSO because the force is
under the sole jurisdiction
of the Secretary General
and can be removed at his
will, as happened in 1967,
when then Secretary Gen-
eral U-Thant, acting on the
demand of Egyptian
President Gamel Abdel
Nasser, pulled UN peace
keeping forces from the
Sinai, paving the way for
the Six-Day War.
The Israeli mission to the
United Nations issued a
statement saying The
Egyptian-Israeli peace
treaty stipulates that a UN
force in the Sinai will be or-
dered to pull out only as a
result of an agreement by
the permanent members of ,
the Security Council. The
new situation does not fol-
low this stipulation."
Israeli sources were con-
cerned by the Secretary
General's control over
UNTSO because of Israel's
'deteriorating relationship
with Waldheim over the
situation in South Lebanon.
They were also upset by the
U.S., which they said
sprang the UNTSO idea on
Israel as a fait accompli.

PARIS (JTA) — Zuhair
Mohsen, a leading member
of the Palestine Liberation
Organization, was shot in
the head by two gunmen
Wednesday as he was re-
turning to his apartment in
a luxury building on the
Cannes seafront. He was
reported in critical condi-
tion at Saint Roch hospital
in Nice.
Mohsen, head of the pro-
Syrian Saiqa organization,
was returning home at 1
a.m. from the Organization
of African Unity Summit in
Monrovia, Liberia, when he
was shot at close range by
the gunmen who were wait-
ing for him on the landing of
his fourth floor apartment.
The PLO delegation in
Paris accused Israel of being
responsible for the shooting.
"This crime can only be the
work of Israel or its agents,"
the PLO said.
The PLO noted that last
August, Ezzedine Kalak.
the head of the PLO delega•
tion here, was shot and kil-
led in his office. Last
January PLO leader Yasir
Arafat's top personal secu-
rity aide, Abu Hassan, was
killed when a radio-
controlled bomb blew up his
car. In June, Adel Wasfi, an
Iraqi who was deputy editor
of the PLO newspaper
Falastin Al-Thawra was
shot and killed in Beirut.

my food be as bitter as the
olive but from your hand,
rather than be as sweet as
honey and from the hand of
a human being."
