Israel Ministers Criticize
Egypt Diplomatic Coolness

A
JERUSALEM (JTA)
number of ministers ex-
pressed criticism Sunday
over Egypt's cool approach
to the normalization proc-
ess.
Speaking at the weekly
Cabinet session, these
ministers reacted to the
briefings of Dr. Yosef Burg,
head of the Israeli delega-
tion to the autonomy talks,
and Yosef Ciechanover, di-
rector general of the
Foreign Ministry, on their
talks in Cairo last week.
Some of them expressed
the suspicion that Egypt is
again linking progress in
the autonomy talks with
progress in the implemen-
tation of the normalization
between the two countries.

—

Burg stated that he
trusted the sincere inten-
tions of the Egyptians.

NY Vandalism

NEW YORK (JTA) —
About 250 persons attended
a ceremony placing a new
menora on a synagogue in
the Riverdale section of the
Bronx in response to the
vandalism of two outdoor
Hanuka menoras Sunday
night.
Rabbi Avraham Weiss of
the Hebrew Institute of
Riverdale, said a menora on
the roof of the synagogue,
which is now being built,
was thrown off the roof and
"splattered" onto the street.
He said a second outdoor
menora two blocks away
was thrown onto the nearby
Henry Hudson Parkway.

Premier Menahem Begin
said Israel would insist on
the fulfillment of the peace
agreement in letter and
spirit.
Energy Minister Yitzhak
Modai proposed that the
Cabinet adopt resolutions
regarding the process of
normalization between the
two countries even before
the Begin-Sadat meeting
scheduled for Jan. 7. The
Cabinet did not pass any
such resolutions, accepting
Defense Minister Ezer
Weizman's argument that
such resolutions would un-
necessarily bind Begin's
hands.
Regarding the autonomy
talks, Burg said there were
still differences of opinion
on two issues: on the size of
the administrative council
and its responsibilities.
