United Jerusalem Sparks Embassy Move
Venezuela and Uruguay,
which have already de-
cided to move their em-
bassies in protest against
the Jerusalem law and
the decision to move the
prime minister's office to
East Jerusalem.
(The Jewish Community
Relations Council of New
York and the Jewish Com-
munity Council of Met-
ropolitan Boston met with
representatives of the Ven-
ezuelan government in
their respective cities to
protest the decision of Ven-
ezuela to move its embassy
in Israel from Jerusalem to
Tel Aviv.)
In New York, President
Carter indicated that he
will not support the planlein
the Democratic Party's plat-
form calling for moving the
United States Embassy in
Israel from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem.
It has been our policy
that Jerusalem should re-
main forever undivided
with free access to the holy
places for people of all
faiths," the President said
in a written message to the
delegates of the Democratic
National Convention just
before he was renominated
as the party's candidate for
a second term.
"It has been and must
remain our policy that
the ultimate status of
Jerusalem should be a
matter of negotiations
between the parties."
In Washington, the

form describing Jerusalem
as Israel's capital and
recommending transfer of
the U.S. Embassy from. Tel

aside by the State Depart-
ment last Friday.
"The President makes
foreign policy: it is not made
by party platforms," State
Department David Passage
said. He also said the State
Department is not "legally
bound" by platforms and he
would not discuss the plank.
"The State Department
does not speak about party
platforms," he said.
The President and the
State Department have said
that the ultimate status of
Jerusalem is to be
negotiated. Secretary of
State Edmund Muskie, in
an interview at the conven-
tion with ABC-TV, said
with respect to Israel's
Jerusalem law that the
Jerusalem issue "obviously
is part of the Camp David
process."
Jerusalem is not men-
tioned in the Camp DaVid
agreements but is in side
letters accompanying the
accords.
At the United Nations, a
last minute effort by the
Palestine Liberation
Organization - to change a
Security Council draft ver-
sion on Jerusalem from a
request to the countries
which have embassies in
Jerusalem to an order to
move them out led to a post-
ponement of a council vote
on the issue.
The council had been ex-
pected to vote last Friday on
a resolution calling on the
12 countries to remove their
embassies from Jerusalem
after Arab states dropped
an effort to include trade
sanctions against Israel and
agreed to accept a resolu-
tion calling on the nations
to remove their embassies
from Jerusalem.
The result of the PLO ef-
fort was to bring about a
postponement on a vote
until this week (see below).
In a related develop-
ment, envoys of 14 Is-
lamic nations meeting in
Casablanca,. Morocco,
called this week for an
economic boycott against
countries that approve
Israel's annexation of
Jerusalem's Arab sector.
But they rejected Pales-
tinian leader Yasir
Arafat's proposal for an
oil embargo against Is-
rael's supporters.
The 14 envoys, whose
countries make up the Is-
lamic Committee on
* *
Jerusalem, also called on
the Moslem world to envis-
age a jihad, or holy war, to
recapture Jerusalem from
Jewish control, but made no
concrete proposal for carry-
ing it out.
In Jerusalem, Leon Duizin,
chairman of the Worl_
Zionist Organizat
Executive, has joined
critics of Premier Menahem
Begin's decision to move his
office to East Jerusalem.
Speaking at the weekly ses-
sion of the WZO, Dulzin
called the decision "a great
folly" and criticized Cabinet
members for "not having
the courage" to oppose it.
Meanwhile, heads of
six major Jewish congre-
gational and rabbinic
bodies have called for a
massive religious
demonstration through-
out the U.S. and Canada
to dramatize the critical
importance of keeping
Jerusalem united.
In a letter to more than
3,000 American and Cana-
dian rabbis, the leaders pro-
claimed Sept. 14 "United
Jerusalem Day" and urged
that the religious commu-
nity stress "Jerusalem —
United Forever" during the
High Holy Day season.
Muskie Rebukes UN as U.S.
Abstains on Jerusalem Vote
UNITED NATIONS --
U.S. Secretary of State Ed-
mund Muskie rebuked the
UN Security Council on
Wednesday afternoon for its
"unbalanced and unrealis-
tic" resolutions that dam-
aged chances for peace in
the Middle East.
Muskie spoke before the
Security Council voted 14-0,
with the U.S. abstaining, to
censure Israel "in the
strongest terms" for "an-
nexing" the Old City of
Jerusalem. The Security
Council called on all gov-
ernments to move their em-
bassies from Jerusalem.
It was the eighth time in
six months that the Secu-
rity Council had condemned
Israel.
Muskie said, "I believe in
its work on the Middle East
over the past five months
the United Nations has
been the focus of attempts
not to advance the cause of
peace, but to restrain it,
contrary to the ideals and
purposes of this institu-
tion."
Muskie said he would not
cast a veto because the U.S.
"has encouraged all parties
to refrain from unilateral
actions which seek to
change the character or
status of Jerusalem." He
thus implied that the
Jerusalem Basic Law
adopted by the Israeli Knes-
set was a one-sided action.
Carter-Mondale Israel Support
Unwavering as Campaign Starts
NEW YORK (JTA) — Is-
rael and the Middle East, as
well as most foreign policy
issues, were hardly heard
about during the four-day
Democratic National Con-
vention.
Although President Car-
ter was reassured of re-
nomination after the first
day's activities, the focus
was on the economy, as the
President sought to win the
support of Sen. Edward
Kennedy of Massachusetts
and his large group of dele-
gates at the convention.
The highly partisan ac-
ceptance speeches of Carter
and Vice President Walter
Mondale also stressed
domestic issues. But both
also promised that the
United States will continue
to support the security of Is-
rael. Both noted that the
Carter Administration has
provided Israel with half of
the U.S. aid given the
Jewish state in 32 years.
"Unlike our Republi-
can predecessors, we
have never stopped nor .
slowed that aid," Carter
declared. And as long as
I am President, we will
not do so. Our commit-
ment is clear: Security
and peace for Israel,
peace for all the peoples
of the Middle East."
Mondale, who said he was
adding a "special word
about Israel," stressed that
"Israel is our friend, our
conscience, our partner. Its
well-being is in our moral,
political and strategic
interests. I stand before you
and say that the people of
the United States stand by
Israel — in this term, in the
next term, and always."
Both Carter and Mondale
also stressed the Adminis-
tration's efforts in bringing
about the Camp David ac-
cords and the Egyptian-
Israeli peace treaty.
Mondale also credited
Carter with having
"brought" Israel and Egypt,
after four wars between
them, "to Camp David to
build a peace treaty be-
tween them.. Today Israel
and Egypt aren't exchang-
ing' bullets; they're ex-
changing ambassadors."
Neither Carter new
mention
Jerusalem in theiii/
speeches. The Dem'-
cratic Party's platfot
includes a call to move
the U.S. Embassy from
Tel Aviv to Jerusalem,
and Sen. Daniel Moyni-
han of New York, in an
address to the conven-
tion, declared the shift
will be carried out.
But the President said
that the "ultimate status of
Jerusalem should be a mat-
ter of negotiations between
the parties."
The Republican platform
does not endorse an em-
bassy move. Like the Demo-
cratic platform, it supports
a policy that Jerusalem
should remain undivided.
Republican candidate
Ronald Reagan, however,
has said that unified
Jerusalem should be under
Israeli sovereignty.
