Government Defeats No-Confidence Motion

(Continued from Page 1)
seized under the Labor gov-
ernment. When Peres inter-
jected that the Alignment
had only seized land for se-
curity purposes, Nissim
said: And how was Kiryat
Arba seized? And how were
47 square kilometers seized
in the Rafah Salient?"
The debate continued into
t1- ^ night. Moshe Dayan sat
ae first time in the back
benches, but not before he
shook hands with Premier
Begin at the Cabinet table,
and with leaders of the
Alignment.
Dayan referred to him-
self as a "free man" after
his resignation from the
Cabinet took effect offi-
cially Tuesday. He said
he would continue to
support the government,
though not necessarily
on all issues.
He said his differences
with the government were
not over the principle of
Jewish settlement on the
West Bank and Gaza Strip,
which he supports, but over
the way the government is
conducting the autonomy
negotiations with Egypt
and the expropriation of
Arab-owned lands for set-
tlement purposes which he
- firmly opposed.
He said he found himself
in a situation where neither
he nor his ministry were
participating in key policy
formulations. In fact, he
said, he was dealing only
with minor matters and this
was not coincidental but
stemmed from his dis-
agreements with the
Cabinet majority.
He made it clear that he
was dissatisfied with the
progress of the autonomy

talks under Interior Minis-
ter Yosef Burg of the Na-
tional Religious Party who
Begin selected to head the
Israeli negotiating team.
"As long as we had the peace
negotiations with Egypt, I
was engaged in political
work and there was an
understanding between the
Premier and myself,"
Dayan said.
"However, when the
second chapter began,
the negotiations over au-
tonomy, I refused to head
the Israeli negotiating
team because I do not ex-
pres's the basic position
of the present coalition
on this issue. In brief, in
what I wanted to deal, I
do not deal. With what I
deal, I do not want to deal
— cocktails and ceremo-
nials.
Under this situation
there was no point in my
being foreign minister. We
need a foreign minister
whose views are accepted by
the Cabinet and who, on the
most important subject of
relations with the Arabs,
can express the views of the
government and I am not
that person."
He stressed that Israel
must remain loyal to the
Camp David agreements.
"There is no reason to leap
out of the framework of
Camp David. It provides ev-
erything that is needed
now. We have to guarantee
our essential interest — not
the question of borders or
sovereignty.
We have five years of au-
tonomy and only then
should the question of sov-
ereignty come up and then
only with Jordan, not with
anyone else. This is written

Vorspan, Hooks Debate Rift

NEW YORK — Albert
Vorspan, vice president of
the Union of American He-
brew Congregations, and
Benjamin Hooks, executive
director of the National
Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored
People, debated black-
Jewish relations this week
before the Washington He-
brew Congregation.
Vorspan said he had
never seen hiS fellow Jews
"more upset," angry and
disappointed, in the wake of
th-- kndrew Young affair.
ded that Jews felt bet-
rayed when they were ac-
cused of calling for Young's
resignation.
He also cited growing
anti-Semitism among black
youth and leaders and-
warned Jews about racism.
Vorspan said that
blacks will have to learn
that "equating Israel
with the PLO is as repug-
nant to Jews as equating
the NAACP and the KKK,
and Jews will have to ap-
preciate that affirmative
action is as precious to
blacks as Israel is to
Jews."
Hooks defended the
NAACP's call for U.S.-PLO
contacts by saying there is
no other way to determine if
the PLO is ready to end its
violence.

President Carter stated
last week that he could not
keep Jesse Jackson from
meeting with the PLO. He
said it would be like trying
to keep American Jews from
visiting • Israel. The
President added, "Jesse
Jackson does not represent
me."
Fbrmer President Gerald
Ford accused Jackson of in-
terfering with U.S. foreign
policy and the Chicago
,Jewish United Fund's pub-
lic affairs committee ac-
cused Jackson of making
anti-Semitic statements
since his return from the
Middle East.
Meanwhile, a black
Teamster Union leader in
Philadelphia, Larry
Thomas, has called for labor
support of Israel through Is-
rael Bonds and said there is
no rift between the black
and Jewish communities.

New Chairman

NEW YORK = Joseph H.
Strelitz of Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, recently accepted the
chairmanship of the Inter-
national Board of Tel Aviv
University's Center for
Strategic Studies: He re-
places Abba Eban, who is
now chairman of the uni-
versity's research project on
peace.

and signed by Egypt, the
U.S. and Israel," Dayan'
said.
He admitted there will
be difficulties because it
will be the Palestinian
Arabs who will imple-
ment autonomy. "But one
should not underesti-
mate the importance of
the three signatories to
the Camp David agree-
ments that call for au-
tonomy for a five-year
period and only then
would there be talks over

sovereignty."
Dayan, 64, underwent
surgery in June for the re-
moval of a malignant tumor
from his intestines. He is
said to have recovered fully.
But the possibility that con-
siderations of health may
have played a part in his de-
cision to leave the govern-
ment was raised by his re-
fusal to disclose the full con-
tent of his letter of resigna-
tion to Begin dated Oct. 2, in
which he explained exactly
why he was quitting.
