Metro Area THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 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 Democratic Party's plat- form describing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and recommending transfer of the U.S. Embassy from. Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was set (Continued from Page 1) Meanwhile, Costa Rica's Ambassador- to Israel, Fer- nandes Pinto, denied that his country has decided to join other Latin American countries and move its em- bassy from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv.

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.
