Government Loses Knesset Vote on Hebron

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Israeli government was
defeated by one vote in the
Knesset Tuesday on a mo-
tion concerning settlement
in Hebron. Likud whip Pes-
sach Grupper said later the
vote reflected widespread
feeling within the Likud
faction against the proposal
to settle Jews in the heart of
the ancient city.
The motion was not one of
confidence, and so the gov-
ernment's defeat has no
constitutional repercus-
sions.
Laborite dove Yossi Sarid
presented the motion, cal-
ling on the government to
evacuate the "Hadassah
women," a group of Kiryat
Arba women squatting in a
Jewish-owned building in
Hebron, and urging the
government not to settle
Jews in other Jewish-owned
properties in the city.
Sarid argued that Be-
gin's penchant for high-
sounding rhetoric had
brought the cabinet, sev-
eral weeks ago, to affirm
the "right in principle" of
Jews to live in Hebron,
and now, with many
ministers firmly oppos-
ing actual settlement of
Jewish families, the pre-
mier proposed to "climb
halfway down" by
suggesting the estab-
lishment of a Jewish
museum or yeshiva in the
city.
"Do not leave us scorched
earth," Sarid demanded of
the government, contend-
ing that such an institution
would provoke Jewish-Arab
unrest and harm the peace
process.
Mordechai Wirshubski of
Shai proposed that the mo-
tion be transferred to the
foreign affairs and defense
committee, but minister
without portfolio Moshe
Nissim, replying for the
government, insisted that it
be struck off the agenda al-
together.
In the vote, several Likud
Knesseters quietly ab-
sented themselves from the
plenum, and the Shai mo-
tion was carried by 36 to 35.
Defending the govern-
ment's failure to carry
out its own longstanding
decision to evacuate the
"Hadassah women"
Moshe Nissim recalled
that Labor governments
too had failed to imple-
ment decisions they had
taken to dismantle West
Bank settlements — in
particular the settlement
of Kaddum.
Meanwhile, the cabinet
debate on Hebron resettle-
ment, postponed for several
weeks running and last
scheduled for next Sunday,
is thought likely to be post-
poned again. U.S. special
autonomy envoy Sol
Linowitz is due in Israel on
Sunday and will meet with
Premier Begin Sunday eve-
ning.
The premier will cer-
tainly not want, therefore,
either a decision for settle-
ment (which will inevitably
draw a stinging U.S. reac-
tion), or a tough dispute
within the cabinet — which
would inevitably be leaked

out before his meeting with
the American diplomat.
However, Kiryat Arba
residents planning to be
among the first settlers in-
side Hebron seem deter-
mined to step up their pres-
sure upon the government.
There have been persistent
reports that they plan some
demonstrative act of set-
tlement in Hebron even
without government
license, and several of them
say they are planning a
hunger-strike outside the
prime minister's home in
Jerusalem.
Meanwhile,
in
Jerusalem about 20,000
people demonstrated
against proposals now
before the government to
settle Jews in the West
Bank Arab town of Heb-

ron.
The demonstration was
the first instance of coopera-
tion between Peace Now ac-
tivists and representatives
of the city's poverty
neighborhoods. Similar ral-
lies to46.place in Tel Aviv
and Haifa, the latter
marked by an outpouring of
kibutz members from the
entire northern region of Is-
rael.
Meanwhile, Mayor Teddy
Kollek of Jerusalem re-
peated his strong criticism
of the government's exprop-
riation of some 1,000 acres
of land in East Jerusalem to
build housing projects for
Jews.
Kollek also accused the
government of developing
settlements on the West
Bank instead of Jerusalem.

Sharon Says U.S. Pushing
Statehood for Palestinians

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Ag-
riculture Minister Ariel
Sharon returned Monday
from a visit to the U.S. con-
vinced that the U.S. is seek-
ing the creation of ,a Pales-
tinian state and that Israel
must vigorously oppose
such a policy.
He insisted that he was
not interfering in American
domestic politics when he
exhorted Jewish leaders in
New York last week to
"stand up" to the Carter
Administration.
Sharon told reporters at
Ben Gurion Airport, "Four
years ago I did not call for
supporting Carter and now I
did not call to vote against
him. All I did was to convey
a clear-cut reminder that
the existence of Jerusalem
and Israel and their secu-
rity are not an internal
American affair. They are
the life and death question
for Israel. I told the Ameri-
can Jews that it was time to
speak of this in clear, loud
voices," he said.
remarks
Sharon's
while in the U.S. promp-
ted Minister of Trade and

Industry Gideon Patt to
question Premier
Menahem Begin on Sun-
day as to whether the ag-
riculture minister's
statements did not
jeopardize Israel's case.
Begin suggested that any
discussion of the matter
should be held in Sha-
ron's presence. It may be
taken up at Sunday's
Cabinet meeting.
While in the U.S., Sharon
met with Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance, special Am-
bassador to the Mideast Sol
Linowitz, and other Ameri-
can figures.
He said on his return that
neither the Americans he
spoke with nor the Ameri-
can Jewish community is
aware of the facts of the
situation with respect to the
settlements. They lack
maps and material which
explain the importance of
the settlements, he said,
adding: "I regard this as a
failure of our information
campaign. We must present
our case in bold, true facts
and this will help us out of
the present situation."
