Begin Wins Knesset Backing
With Dayan Among Coalition

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A heated Knesset debate over five no-confidence
motions in the government of Premier Menahem Begin continued late into
Wednesday night with denunciations of government policies by opposition fac-
tions on the left, center and right wings.
Although Begin's parliamentary majority stood fast and survived the as-
sault by a 59-47 vote, the nature of the attacks reflected the political turmoil in
Israel arising from Moshe Dayan's resignation as foreign minister and the
Israeli Supreme Court's ruling that the settlement of Elon Moreh built on
confiscated Arab land on the West Bank
must be removed in 30 days.
Dayan's resignation was based
primarily on his having a secondary
role in negotiations on the status of
Palestinian autonomy, with Yosef
--Burg of the religious bloc doing
most of the negotiating. Burg now is
among the candidates mentioned as
a possible successor to Dayan as
foreign minister.
The original no-confidence motion
presented by the Labor Alignment dealt
with deteriorating economic and social
conditions and the government's al-
leged inability to function properly. But

the attack was broadened to include the government's conduct of the autonomy
negotiations with Egypt and the settlement policies.
Labor chairman Shimon Peres outlined the "malfunctioning" of the gov-
ernment: "The foreign policy was handed to the minister of interior (Burg).
There is no foreign minister. There is finance minister (Simha Ehrlich), but they
want to replace him."
Peres directed some of his criticism directly at the Liberal Party, which he
accused of "leaving us without the treasury, and itself without a candidate as
minister of finance."
He accused the government for
responsibility for the Elon Moreh af-
fair, and said the Alignment would
not allow any circumventing of the
court. 'Leave immediately," Peres
called toward the Cabinet benches.
"You will do good with the people if
you will release 'is of your incompe-
tence."
Responding in the name of the gov-
ernment, Minister Moshe Nissim said
the Alignment was criticizing the set-
tlements with "unlcean hands."
He said he had a list of land which was

McGovern Is Seeking Government tau ht Between Gush, Court
itonor for Wiesenthai

By GIL SEDAN

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Israeli government has announced that it will not try to circumvent Monday's
Israeli Supreme Court ruling that Elon Moreh on the West Bank must be removed in 30 days from the seized Arab
lands on which it was built. Nevertheless, Premier Menahem Begin continued intensive consultations with other
ministers and government aides in an attempt to find a way to comply with the court order but avoid a confrontation
with the Gush Emunim.
One proposal, advanced by Matityahu Drobies, co-chairman of the Jewish Agency's settlement department, was to
convert Elon Moreh into a military outpost just beyond the land the high court ordered returned to the Arabs of Rujeib
Village. The court's decision was based on its finding that Elon Moreh was established to satisfy a political consti-
tuency, the Gush Emunim, rather than for security reasons as claimed by the government.
Agriculture Minister Ariel Sharon, reportedly furious over the court decision, was said to be the driving force
behind the efforts to preserve Elon Moreli in one form or another. Sharon has avoided making comments to the press.
He conferred with Begin Monday and again Tuesday.
The court's unanimous decision represented a landmark in the Israeli judicial process with long range
effects on the government's settlement policy. It was the first time Israel's highest court has ruled in favor of
an appeal by Arab landowners against Jewish settlement. Elon Moreh will be the first Jewish settlement
dismantled by court order.
The ruling was the first in which the court not only rejected the claim by the chief of staff, the highest military
authority, that a settlement was necessary for security purposes, but implied strongly that the military commander
had tailored his views to suit the political demands of the Gush Emunim.
Justice Moshe Landau, president of the supreme court, announced the decision which was concurred in by the
four other justices who comprised the five-member panel that heard the appeal. Landau stated that the driving force
behind the establishment of Elon Moreh six months ago on a hill-top overlooking the Arab town of Nablus was the
persistent demands of the Gush Emunim, not the military opinion of the chief of staff.
